OSDE passes rule to require citizenship status of families
SUMMARY: The Oklahoma State Department of Education has implemented a new rule requiring parents or emancipated minors to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when enrolling students in schools. This regulation has sparked confusion among board members, who questioned whether it pertains only to parents’ status or also to the students’. State Superintendent Ryan Walters clarified that the rule is meant solely for gathering parents’ citizenship data and does not affect students’ access to education. Some schools, like Yukon Public Schools, stated they will not collect student status information and emphasized that federal law protects student data from ICE agents. A student expressed disapproval of the rule, calling it distasteful.

Stuck at the Bottom: Oklahoma Reading and Math Scores Stagnate
SUMMARY: Oklahoma students’ reading and math scores stagnated in 2024, remaining below the U.S. average, as reported by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Data reveals little improvement since 2022, with fourth-grade reading scores declining slightly and a significant percentage of students scoring below basic proficiency. In math, fourth graders improved marginally, while eighth graders maintained their 2022 scores. Oklahoma ranks near the bottom nationally, with only a few states posting lower scores. This highlights the ongoing struggle for academic recovery post-pandemic, as national averages also reflect declines from pre-pandemic levels.

Immunity denied for Edmond officer accused of killing her brother
SUMMARY: Immunity was denied for Edmond police officer Jennifer Haddock, who is accused of killing her brother in 2023. Her attorneys sought to dismiss the case under the Stand Your Ground law, but Oklahoma County District Judge Susan Stallings ruled against this motion. Evidence presented indicated that Haddock was at her mother’s apartment to help her move when an argument with her brother Sean escalated, leading to the shooting. Despite claims from Haddock’s defense that she was in a dangerous situation, the judge determined that her actions did not warrant immunity. Haddock faces a first-degree manslaughter charge.
