Shawnee Superintendent’s License Revoked for Second Time Following Decades-Old Allegations


Shawnee Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Aaron Espolt is set to challenge the Oklahoma State Board of Education (OSDE) regarding the emergency revocation of his teaching license amidst allegations of inappropriate conduct with female students dating back to his time at other schools from 2000 to 2005. The allegations include claims of engaging in inappropriate sexual relationships with students and failing to report inappropriate behavior by other teachers who have since lost their licenses due to similar allegations. Despite denying any wrongdoing, Espolt filed a lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to stop the board from suspending his license, citing lack of due process and evidence to substantiate the allegations.

If the board decides to revoke his license, it could bring an end to Espolt’s more than 20-year career in education. The timeline of events reveals Espolt’s employment history and the developments leading up to the current situation, including his sudden resignation as superintendent of Cleveland Public Schools and subsequent appointment as superintendent of Shawnee Public Schools. The OSDE investigation into Espolt’s alleged misconduct began in June 2024, leading to his administrative leave in August and receipt of the board’s application to revoke his license in September.

Espolt’s case is currently under review by the Oklahoma State Board of Education, with a decision expected to be made at a hearing. The Shawnee Public School District continues to cooperate with the investigation as Espolt remains on administrative leave. The outcome of the board’s decision will have significant implications for both Espolt and the Shawnee Public School District. News 9 is closely monitoring the situation for updates.
