State education board challenged by local school districts
The Daily Ardmoreite
School districts in southern Oklahoma are joining the fight against a decision by the state board of education to settle a lawsuit and change how charter schools are funded. At least two Carter County school districts have taken official steps challenging last month’s action by the Oklahoma State Board of Education.
The Dickson Public School Board of Education on Monday voted unanimously to demand the state board of education rescind the March 25 vote to settle a lawsuit brought by the Oklahoma Public Charter School Association.
The Dickson school board also approved a measure to pursue legal action against the state school board’s decision to settle the 2017 lawsuit. The Lone Grove Public Schools Board of Education on Monday also approved legal action against the state board of education.
