OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma State Board of Education is set to discuss schools identified as low-performing.
The board is to meet Monday to discuss what state education officials have called a partnership with seven schools identified as among the low-performing schools in student achievement. The criteria includes low graduation rates or schools that have received federal School Improvement Grants.
Some school officials have expressed concern that the state will take over the schools. State schools Superintendent Janet Barresi has said her goal is to improve education.
The seven schools are Keyes Elementary; Farris K-8; Okay High School; McLain High School in Tulsa; and Santa Fe South Middle School; Shidler Elementary School and Roosevelt Middle School, all in Oklahoma City.
