Oklahoma Secretary of Education
The Oklahoma Secretary of Education is a member of the governor's cabinet.
Unlike the elected State Superintendent, the Secretary of Education is appointed by the governor and helps coordinate education policy across state government.
Lindel Fields currently holds both positions, but they are separate offices with different responsibilities.

Are the governor's education decisions transparent?
How can residents learn about and respond to proposed education policies?
What should the relationship be between the Secretary of Education, State Superintendent, and State Board of Education?
