North Carolina voters will pick a new state superintendent to lead the public school system.
Current State Superintendent Catherine Truitt lost her reelection bid in the Republican primary to Michele Morrow. Now Morrow will take on Democrat Maurice “Mo” Green.
The superintendent of public instruction is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the state Department of Public Instruction. This includes the $11 billion in state funding for public schools that DPI distributes to local school districts and charter schools.
The superintendent advocates and informs the state on issues in education, makes recommendations for policy changes to the legislature and governor and works with the State Board of Education.
