OKLAHOMA CITY (June 23, 2016) – The State Board of Education (SBE) today ordered the mandatory annexation of the Grant-Goodland Public School after a recommendation of annexation from the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE). The Grant-Goodland district has been plagued by financial misconduct and numerous other issues related to special education services, falsifying records and failure to appropriately meet the needs of its 118 students.

 

The annexation of the district in southeastern Oklahoma was approved during an SBE special meeting.
