Truth Summary
A school superintendent from northeast Indiana announced on Thursday she’ll mount a Republican campaign in a bid to defeat Democrat Glenda Ritz in this year’s race for state superintendent of public instruction.
Jennifer McCormick, the leader of Yorktown Community Schools, is the most formidable challenge to Ritz’s re-election efforts to date.
In announcing her campaign, McCormick said Ritz's Indiana Department of Education has a communication issue with educators, and that “putting education back on track in Indiana is going to be a huge task.”
