Washington Schools Chief Reykdal Won’t Seek Fourth Term

Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal says he will not seek a fourth term in 2028, citing the value of leadership changes and voluntary term limits. First elected in 2016, he will spend the rest of his current term focused on public education, including equitable school funding, student well-being and achievement, and opportunities after high school. Reykdal and his wife are considering whether he might pursue another state or federal office or leave elected politics; he has not announced a decision.
