Three embattled school board members at Oklahoma City’s Western Heights Public Schools are resigning after months of controversy.

The three members maintained a voting majority on the Western Heights school board that often opposed a state intervention in the district.

On Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022, Western Heights Board members Robert Everman, Linda Farley and Robert Sharp resigned their seats.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court today unanimously affirmed an Oklahoma County District Court ruling that approved the State Department of Education’s takeover of the troubled Western Heights School District in July

Western Heights schools in Oklahoma City argued the district and its former superintendent were denied due process.

Oklahoma officials want to remove Robert Everman of the Western Heights Board of Education for failing to address an annual school district audit.

The yearly audit found 19 significant deficiencies in the southwest Oklahoma City district’s finances from the 2020-21 school year.

Incoming Superintendent Brayden Savage will take the reigns on Tuesday in Western Heights Public Schools.
