The Oklahoma State Auditor, Cindy Byrd, will be hosting a news conference this afternoon at 2:30 to release the results of a forensic audit conducted on Tulsa Public Schools. The audit was initiated by Governor Kevin Stitt in response to concerns raised about potential mishandling of public funds and allegations of teaching critical race theory.
The findings of the audit are expected to shed light on the district’s financial practices and whether any mismanagement of funds has been discovered. This news conference comes on the heels of the arrest and conviction of former Tulsa Public Schools administrator, Devin Fletcher, who was found guilty of misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the district.
Fletcher pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison for stealing over $600,000 from Tulsa Public Schools. The audit results may provide further insight into the extent of financial irregularities within the district.
The press conference will be held at the Oklahoma History Center, and it is anticipated that the findings will prompt discussions about accountability and transparency in the management of public funds in education. Stay tuned for updates on the outcome of the audit and any potential implications for Tulsa Public Schools.
