Oklahoma City Public Schools on Monday called on State Auditor Cindy Byrd to audit Santa Fe South Charter Schools.
In a unanimous vote, the district’s Board of Education made the request following an hourlong executive session. State law says the state auditor “shall” fulfill the request and a spokesman for the state auditor’s office said Byrd had received the letter Tuesday.
“The purpose of the special audit requested is to determine compliance with statutes, rules, policies and internal control procedures,” an OKCPS statement said. “In light of comments shared at the OSDE Board of Education meeting on Friday, April 9, the Board felt this was an important step to take as an authorizer of Santa Fe South.”

OKLAHOMA CITY -
The Statewide Virtual Charter School Board set a termination hearing for the Epic One-on-One Charter School district to review alleged violations of its operating contract.
On Tuesday, the board, which has not met since January, denied Epic’s motion to dismiss the allegations and scheduled the hearing for May 12 and 13.
Marie Schubel, the board’s legal counsel who is prosecuting the district, and Epic attorney Bill Hickman opposed limiting the hearing to only two days because of the wide scope of the allegations and potential witnesses.
“There are 30,000 records I’ve gathered in this case,” said Bill Hickman, attorney for Epic Charter Schools. “I have a high degree of confidence that we will not get this done in two days.”
