OK-ED: Meet the Democrats running for Oklahoma state superintendent
OKLAHOMA CITY — A former school board member and a retired district superintendent are vying for the Democratic nomination to be Oklahoma’s public schools chief.
Democrats will choose between Jennettie Marshall, 67, and Craig McVay, 65, in the June 16 primary election for state superintendent. The winner will advance to the November General Election to face the victor of a seven-candidate Republican primary field.
Marshall served for eight years on the board of education for Tulsa Public Schools, the state’s largest district. McVay retired in 2022 as the superintendent of El Reno Public Schools. Both said they would push for a greater state investment in public schools and teachers.
McVay, of El Reno, said Oklahoma should start by adding $500 million to the education funding formula, the main driver of district budgets.
