Sen. Mann comments on governor’s changes to the State Board of Education

OKLAHOMA CITY – Sen. Mark Mann, D-Oklahoman City, made the following comments Tuesday after the governor appointed three new members to the Oklahoma State Board of Education (OSBE).

“It took two years for the governor to recognize what Democrats have known since day one of Ryan Walters’ term. Our state superintendent is hindering our kids’ ability to learn, our teachers’ ability to teach, and our business community’s ability to recruit workers to come to Oklahoma.

“While I applaud the governor’s move to clean house at OSBE, I will reserve judgement on whether or not the governor’s actions bring about the changes our schools need and that Democrats have been demanding.” – Sen. Mark Mann, D-Oklahoma City.
