Superintendent Gist To Board: TPS Curriculum Does Not Conflict With Law On Teaching Race, Gender

Administrators have reviewed Tulsa Public Schools curriculum in light of a new state law to limit certain teachings on race, gender and history, and the State Board of Education’s adoption of rules earlier this month to comply with that law. TPS Superintendent Dr. Deborah Gist told the board during a Monday night meeting they found no conflicts with House Bill 1775 or the emergency rules. Our curriculum was designed to intentionally celebrate the diversity of our students. We are teaching our children history about our shared human experience, and this is history that is painful. But our approach is firmly grounded in the belief that one human being is not worth more than another, Gist said.

TPS Board Wants To Revisit COVID Response Plan As Delta Variant Rises

Credit Matt Trotter / KWGS Members of the Tulsa Public Schools Board want to discuss plans to deal with the more-transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus. The fall semester begins in six weeks, and cases of COVID-19 have been rising in Tulsa County the past three after falling to a 12-month low. The Delta variant is present in northeast Oklahoma. I have received numerous calls, and I look forward to our having a discussion surrounding the new Delta variant. We have families that are trying to figure out what they re going to do for school, said board member Jennettie Marshall. Fellow board member Judith Barba Pérez is having the same experience.
