“Today, Governor Kevin Stitt named three new members to the Oklahoma State Board of Education (OSBE). The move comes after ongoing controversy at the Oklahoma State Department of Education and disappointing scores on the annual National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).”
“‘Nothing is more important than ensuring Oklahoma kids have the best education possible,’ said Gov Stitt. ‘After months of headlines followed by disappointing NAEP scores this month, it’s clear that our education infrastructure has fallen prey to needless political drama. If we want to be the best state for business, we need to make sure our kids have a path to success. It’s time for some fresh eyes and a renewed focus on our top ten goals,'” said Stitt in a statement on Tuesday, evidently tired of Superintendent Ryan Walters’s batshittery with the “months of headlines” dig.
