Considered a cornerstone of Millwood Public Schools, one of Oklahoma s longest-serving elected officials has retired from 51 years on the district Board of Education.
Frances Percival, 93, attended her final school board meeting Monday evening. First elected to the board in March 1970, Percival chose not to seek re-election this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Percival has been a steadfast presence in the district since she began volunteering as a Millwood parent in 1958. Two of her children attended Millwood schools after she and her husband built a home in the northeast Oklahoma City district.
Even though she ll no longer sit on the school board, Percival said she won t stop coming back to Millwood.
