Higgins Proposes State School Board Plan For Ohio

Superintendent Edwin E. Higgins urged Ohio voters to pass a constitutional amendment creating a state board of education with a governor appointed superintendent on staggered terms. He noted 42 states have such boards, with several makers of long tenure, and said the change would align with local board practices and better reflect public opinion. A statewide meeting of the 88-member committee is planned in Columbus next week.
