The State Superintendent of Education has duties outlined in the South Carolina Constitution, including serving as administrative officer to the state board of education, having general supervision over and management of all public school funds provided by the state and federal governments, and keeping the public informed as to the problems and needs of the public schools by constant contact with school administrators and teachers.

In this episode, we talk with the three candidates for SC Superintendent of Education: Lisa Ellis, Patricia Mickel, and Ellen Weaver. This is the only state-level office included in this election year's episodes.
