Episode Details

California’s race for the next state superintendent is heating up as Governor Newsom proposes stripping away key powers and redirecting billions in education funding — sparking outrage from candidates who call it undemocratic and short-sighted. With schools already reeling from budget cuts, teacher shortages, and falling test scores, the ten contenders are scrambling to outline how they’d resist the changes — but so far, no one has a clear strategy. The current superintendent, also running for governor, was caught off guard by the power shift. Despite the chaos, no candidate has dropped out, and voters remain undecided as the primary looms. With deep-rooted challenges in funding, curriculum, and student outcomes, the next schools chief faces an uphill battle to turn around California’s struggling education system.
