Washington: Superintendent Of Public Instruction

State Sen. Rodney Tom (D-Medina) proposed today that the state legislature should work toward a bill this session that would amend the state constitution to make the superintendent of public instruction an appointed position.

It is currently a non-partisan statewide elected job with a four year term. Current Superintendent Terry Bergeson has held the post for twelve years and is seeking re-election against Eatonville’s Randy Dorn.
