The Oklahoma State Department of Education will invest a minimum of $14 million in federal stimulus funds for summer enrichment through 2023. Individual school districts are leveraging their own federal aid to expand student learning opportunities after the school year ends this month.

Lewis, an occupational therapist, took a familiar path to her election victory. She won the 2017 general election for board chairperson after trailing her opponent in the primary.
