Good, the DoE LOVED the anal probe that EPIC Charter got. Now let them see how excited they are to get the same scrutiny.
Very much this. They should welcome it.
Just like the health department was.
We had an internal auditing department, and we had to turn in reports to them annually, and they came down and audited us every other year--and it was the same at all the other departments in the organization. I used to say (half-)jokingly that I was going to be an auditor until they found out that my parents were married, but I did understand that their function was keep the entire organization on the straight and narrow.
I am sure there are details more involved that would need to be worked out.
But I do believe it could work.
Heck yes. The school that benefits from the OG&E Sooner Power Plant has so much money that the Nichols Hill Schools in OKC that used to be the richest district in OK petitioned to get some of the money and were denied. That school has a football stadium with no football team. Welding class gets new Miller welders annually, New building/classroom additions annually, and so on. They are flush in money.
Just look at the west OKC metro. Why do we need different districts for Yukon, Mustang and Piedmont? The money saved combining the administration of these districts would save millions and millions of dollars. Same with Putnam City, Bethany, and Western Heights. Too many different administrations doing the same thing for their small kingdoms.
The answer is 100% sports related why this will never happen. Which is just stupid on its own.

One Super per county. A few assistants in the larger districts, based on number of students.
No reason to consolidate schools. Just need to consolidate the administration. In other words, if you like your school, you get to keep your school. (Seems like I’ve heard that before) I’d be okay with consolidating some of the HS’s but I’d be okay with keeping the little kids closer to home. I know a bunch of rural k-8 only schools already. They seem to be fine. Maybe we need some more of those.
No reason for Middleburg or Friend, or the 300 just like them to have their own Superintendent. It’s wasteful of taxpayer money. The students don’t benefit. It’s a administration racket is what it is. My ex is a former teacher and a current VP in a really large district with 2 HS’s. One Super handles that district. Schools graduating less than a couple 100 kids don’t need a Super.
It’s needed to happen for decades, but without blowing the whole thing up and starting over it never will. It’s a super bureaucracy and it exists only for the benefit of the Superintendents, and it will be next to impossible to change because the bureaucrats have the people believing they’re needed. It’s a racket.
I agree, any agency, or individual, handling the piublics money should be audited, on a regular bases. We are governed, as well as policed, by PUBLIC CONSENT, and even hire the EMPLOYEES that do the governing, and policing! The political POWER rightfully belongs to the public!
It amazes me how some people want to limit the money other people should be making but not their own?
