OKCPS Candidate Forum to be held March 30 via Zoom

The OKCPS Board of Education plays an integral role in ensuring Oklahoma City’s schools provide our students the instruction and resources they need to lay the foundation for their bright futures. As important as the board’s function is, board members' elections are often overlooked - in February, less than 5,000 of 139,206 eligible voters participated, resulting in the upcoming runoff election on April 6.
