In 1950, the first Colorado State Board of Education was elected in November 1950. Mrs. Nettie S. Freed was named as the first Commissioner of Education. However, at the time the Constitution was amended in 1948, Mrs. Freed set out to abolish her own professional position. In doing so it was necessary that she obtain public support for a change in Colorado’s constitution which abolished her position as elected state superintendent of instruction and provided for a commissioner of education to be appointed by the State Board of Education.
