The race to lead California’s public schools is wide open, and many voters still don’t seem to know who they want. A new statewide poll shows 32% of voters are undecided in the crowded race for state superintendent, with no clear frontrunner emerging among nearly a dozen candidates. Experts say attention may be shifting toward national education fights, including efforts by the Trump administration to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. Meanwhile, the superintendent’s authority could soon shrink under a proposal that would move more school control to the governor’s office.
