Governor Kevin Stitt announced that he will make his first appointment to State Superintendent, announcing Lindel Fields of Tulsa.
“It’s a new day for Oklahoma students,” said Gov. Stitt. “I want us to be top ten in everything we do, and we need a top ten education system to achieve that. Lindel will give the agency a fresh start and get it back to its mission of producing top-tier students. I’m excited to appoint my first superintendent of public instruction, and I know great things are ahead.”
Lindel Fields is a veteran educator with over 30 years of experience in Oklahoma’s CareerTech system. He began his career in 1991 as an educator at the Dick Conner Correctional Center and was quickly promoted to Director of Instruction, overseeing correctional training programs statewide.
