Tulsa Superintendent Faces Backlash and Uncertainty Over Accreditation

Tulsa Public Schools Superintendent Deborah Gist believes that the timing of the state's effort to question the renewal of the district's state accreditation is intentionally disruptive, leading to the loss of teachers ahead of the new academic year. State Superintendent Ryan Walters has called for Gist's replacement and a possible state takeover of the district, citing concerns about administrative costs and failing grades. Gist disputes these claims, stating that administrative costs are within the legal limit and only 4.03% of funding, while failing grades are at 37% rather than the claimed 65%.
