State Schools Superintendent Forum
The Wake Up with Dee Morning Show’s General Election Primary Forum brings voters an important conversation with the candidates for Georgia State Schools Superintendent: Dr. Anton Anthony, Dr. Nelva Melissa Lee, Dr. Lydia Catalina Powell, and Otha Thornton. This race matters because the State School Superintendent serves as the chief administrative officer of Georgia’s Department of Education and helps carry out the policies and rules that guide the state’s public school system.
What The Job Does
The State School Superintendent oversees the administration of Georgia’s K-12 public education system and helps implement the policies of the State Board of Education. The office is responsible for enforcing education laws, making recommendations to the board on the welfare and efficiency of schools, and helping ensure the system runs effectively for students, families, and educators. In short, the superintendent helps shape how Georgia’s public schools are managed at the state level.
