OKC Public Schools

[SoonerDave]

Lora only officially took over that position in July 2016.

OKCPS has had 14 superintendents in the last 30 years.

Good grief. At some point, with that kind of turnover, doesn't someone start looking at cabal issues INSIDE OKCPS? Why would anyone want that job?

100%. We need to start asking why our school board is so incompetent/acrimonious/insular that they keep running off superintendents. Perhaps we need to reform the entire school board system to start getting results.

But, then again, none of this matters until people in OKC start getting active in OKCPS issues. Virtually no one attends school board meetings or even votes in the school board elections. I remember going to a debate in the Plaza District a couple years ago that had all the school board candidates, including the school board chair candidates, in attendance. It was a really good debate and it showed each candidates strengths, weaknesses, and priorities. 30 people showed up, and many of them were family/campaign workers of the candidates. Ridiculous.
