Resolution 1042, introduced by Representative Rosecrants, proposes a constitutional amendment to Section 5 of Article XIII of the Oklahoma Constitution. The amendment seeks to remove the requirement that the Superintendent of Public Instruction must serve as the President of the Board of Education. Instead, it allows for the Board's powers and duties to be prescribed by law, while maintaining that the Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General will serve as ex-officio members of the Board alongside the Superintendent.

The resolution directs the Secretary of State to present this proposed amendment to the public for approval or rejection through a ballot. The ballot title will inform voters that the measure amends the current requirement regarding the Superintendent's role, asking whether they support the removal of this stipulation. If approved, the amendment would change the governance structure of the Board of Education in Oklahoma.
