State Education Department Address Statewide Turnover Rates

The Oklahoma State Department of Education addressed a rise in turnover rates after the executive director of federal programs moved to Mid-Del Public Schools.

OSDE officials said the federal programs department has been under a reorganization and restructuring process since Superintendent Ryan Walters took office.

"It’s a cultural shift that empowers parents and puts their children’s education as the number one item this agency will focus on," the officials said.
