Three new members of the state Board of Education continually pushed state Superintendent Ryan Walters on multiple issues during a meeting Thursday.

If there is only one person who sets the agenda, how does the board get something on the agenda we want to talk about?”

Discussion on a controversial rule proposed by the state superintendent hit a roadblock as new members were told only Walters has the power to set the agenda for each meeting.

It was the first board meeting on Thursday for the State Board of Education members appointed by Governor Stitt, and it was a clash with Superintendent Ryan Walters.
