Prose:

Very little issues here:

History of the office

• "In 1868 the state ratified a new constitution which provided for a system of public schools to be led by a Superintendent of Public Instruction and a State Board of Education"; pronoun misusage, 'which provided' should be 'that provided'.
• "but the bill was quashed in a House of Representatives' committee."; the noun form is incorrect, remove the apostrophe.

Duties and structure

• "They are seventh in line of succession to the governor."; should be 'in the line of succession'.

That's everything. NSNW (talk) 01:56, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

• @NSNW: All should be good now per my edit. -Indy beetle (talk) 09:14, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
