OKLAHOMA CITY -
More developments in a court case involving The Western Heights Independent School District and the Oklahoma State Board of Education.
The initial case was filed in late April, after the Western Heights School Board sued the state Board of Education.
Both parties appeared in a hearing Thursday.
Judge Timmons determined that the district must immediately go through the probationary process that is currently available to them.
Timmons also dismissed complaints that the state Board of Education violated the Open Meetings Act.
This probationary process started in April, and to this day, state spokespeople said the district has not taken steps to fix any of the problems they’ve been asked to fix to keep the district’s accreditation.
