Oklahoma public schools are able to pay all of their employees through the end of their contracts, even with closed buildings, the governor announced Thursday. The governor made the announcement during his daily COVID-19 press conference.
State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister authored a letter to the governor April 1, asking him to waive any laws or rules that would prohibit paying these employees. She asked him to unequivocally open the door for school districts to do what’s right.
