Members of the Tulsa Public Schools Board want to discuss plans to deal with the more-transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus.
The fall semester begins in six weeks, and cases of COVID-19 have been rising in Tulsa County the past three after falling to a 12-month low. The Delta variant is present in northeast Oklahoma.
"I have received numerous calls, and I look forward to our having a discussion surrounding the new Delta variant. We have families that are trying to figure out what they're going to do for school," said board member Jennettie Marshall.
Fellow board member Judith Barba Pérez is having the same experience.
