Capitol Insider: Stitt Urges Schools To Relax COVID-19 Quarantine Practices

TRANSCRIPT: Dick Pryor: This is Capitol Insider, your weekly look inside Oklahoma politics, policy and government. I m Dick Pryor with eCapitol news director Shawn Ashley. Shawn, Governor Kevin Stitt has extended his COVID-19 emergency executive order for another thirty days. That goes through February 12th. There is one change from the current order regarding bars and restaurants. What does the new order do? Shawn Ashley: Well, the new order does not include the 11 p.m. curfew for in-person service at bars and restaurants, although it does keep in place the social distancing requirements and the barrier requirements that were in the executive order. For the most part, the order is very much like what we ve seen for several months now, and much of it relates to government operations, expedited licensing for medical professionals and an easing of purchasing requirements, particularly for PPE and things like that.

Gov Stitt Moves Teachers Up On COVID-19 Vaccine Priority List

Governor Kevin Stitt announced Oklahoma teachers and support staff will be able to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in phase two.

If they are not willing to take it at that time, we are going to move on to the next person,” said Dr. Frye during a news conference on Tuesday. Teachers were originally scheduled for vaccinations in phase three along with students.

In a letter sent this week, chief financial officers from 14 school districts called on state leaders to see to it that Epic’s upcoming midyear adjustment in state funding be “stayed or modified” until Epic’s student “enrollment numbers and other business practices are verified to be lawful and compliant.” It was signed by district officials from Tulsa, Ardmore, Bartlesville, Broken Arrow, Enid, Lawton, Moore, Muskogee, Mustang, Norman, Putnam City, Tahlequah, Union and Yukon.
