Possible merge edit

Would it not make sense to merge this article with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction?

Prose: edit

Very little issues here:

History of the office edit

  • "In 1868 the state ratified a new constitution which provided for a system of public schools to be led by a Superintendent of Public Instruction and a State Board of Education"; pronoun misusage, 'which provided' should be 'that provided'.
  • "but the bill was quashed in a House of Representatives' committee."; the noun form is incorrect, remove the apostrophe.

Duties and structure edit

  • "They are seventh in line of succession to the governor."; should be 'in the line of succession'.

That's everything. NSNW (talk) 01:56, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
