flag Newsom proposes shifting California’s K-12 education control from elected to appointed leadership to boost coordination and equity.

flag Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed reshaping California’s K-12 education governance by transferring key powers from the elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction to the governor-appointed State Board of Education, which would also take over the Department of Education. flag The goal is to improve accountability, coordination, and equity across early childhood to postsecondary education, addressing long-standing criticisms of a fragmented system. flag The plan, part of Newsom’s 2026 budget proposal, has support from major education groups but lacks detailed implementation steps. flag The current superintendent, Tony Thurmond, is leaving office in 2026 and running for governor.
