ICYMI- Oklahoma’s former superintendent claimed a “record turnaround” for failing schools, but was it really? This raises more questions about any data or claims made by OSDE under Ryan Walters’ leadership. okcfox.com/news/local/f...

ICYMI- From heartbreaking💔- being told "complaints that come in about our special education students aren't priority..." To bizarre - "We stood there with our hands over our heart." More details emerge about the culture at OSDE under the former superintendent. (1/2) #oklahoma #oklaed

MORE GOVERNOR POWER? Gov. Stitt is using the Ryan Walters debacle and his appointment of interim state supe Lindel Fields as evidence OK law needs to change-allowing governors to appoint more statewide positions, instead of letting voters decide. But wait... 🧵

OSDE AUDIT- ‼️State Auditor Cindy Byrd tells me she only learned about this from the AG’s press release, calling it “peculiar.” 🧵 #Oklahoma okcfox.com/news/local/d...

My incredible grandfather would have turned 112 today. He was blessed with 104 years on Earth, and didn’t waste a second of it. This morning I reread his obituary, reflecting on his legacy, accomplishments, and lasting mark on me and so many others. boonefuneralhomeinc.com/john-covingt...

Does your dog stick its entire head in the water bowl at the dog park? No? Just mine? 🤦‍♀️

🚨DEVELOPING- just one day into Gov Stitt’s “Operation Safe” to clear homeless encampments in Tulsa, community advocates tell me OHP entered an encampment overnight as folks slept. A dog in a tent apparently got spooked and was shot by a trooper. I’m told the dog is stable… #oklahoma

Many months ago, a high-level staffer at a state agency said to me, "Oklahoma is not a poor state. Oklahoma is a poorly run state." I think about that a lot. Thoughts? #oklahoma

GHOST EMPLOYEES?- @oklahomawatch.bsky.social reveals how many times a 6-figure full time staffer actually swiped into OSDE offices while living and working another job in Texas. It’s public information, but reporter Jennifer Palmer had to fight to get it... #oklaed oklahomawatch.org/2025/09/03/e...

I could have had a nap. Instead I got half naked for no reason and have to go back in few days. 🙄

MENTAL HEALTH CUTS- ODMHSAS makes "tough decisions" to end some of its 800 contracts with providers to get the agency out of a financial crisis. One impacted provider warns "it will cost lives." #oklahoma okcfox.com/news/local/m...

My little runner is back at it. OKC’s Core to Shore 5K was a fun one!

Lawton students hit with $35 fee for the "privilege" of bringing a phone to school, to cover the cost of a special pouch to comply with the new statewide 'bell to bell' cell phone ban. This, despite the district getting a $50k grant to cover such costs. So... where'd that money go? #oklahoma #oklaed
