INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s schools chief says she will not seek another term as the head of the state’s Department of Education.

Superintendent Jennifer McCormick is in her first term after ousting her Democratic predecessor Glenda Ritz in 2016.

She said Monday that she has ruled out a 2020 run.

Even if McCormick didn’t rule out running, she could only have sought one more term on the ballot because Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a law making the position appointed beginning in 2025.
