Oklahoma Constitution; candidate requirements for office of Superintendent of Public Instruction; ballot title; filing.

HJR 1043 proposes a constitutional amendment adding new eligibility requirements for Oklahoma's Superintendent of Public Instruction. It would require candidates to hold a valid administrative certification and have at least ten years of public education experience, including five years of classroom teaching, starting with the 2030 general election. The amendment modifies Article VI, Section 3 of the Oklahoma Constitution, which currently only requires candidates to be 31 years old and have ten years of state residency. This change would apply to all future general elections for the position, not affecting current or past candidates. The proposal must be approved by voters before taking effect.
