Resolution 1043, introduced by Representative Rosecrants, proposes an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would establish additional qualifications for candidates seeking the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Currently, candidates must be at least 31 years old and have been a qualified elector in the state for the preceding ten years. The proposed amendment would require candidates to also possess a valid administrative certification and have a minimum of ten years of experience in public education, which must include at least five years of classroom teaching experience. These new requirements would take effect starting with the general election in November 2030.

The resolution directs the Secretary of State to present this proposed amendment to the voters for their approval or rejection. A ballot title summarizing the amendment will be provided, outlining the changes to the eligibility criteria for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The resolution emphasizes the importance of having experienced and certified individuals in this educational leadership role, aiming to enhance the qualifications of candidates in future elections.
