Guthrie’s Territorial Museum Celebrates 50 Years

Body
This year marks the 50th anniversary of a key Guthrie landmark: the Oklahoma Territorial Museum.

The Education Open Transfer Act

Body
In the Spring of 2021, the state legislature passed and Governor Stitt signed S.B. 783 into law for Oklahoma. It was known as the Education Open Transfer Act and went into effect in January of 2022. As is often the process when a law is passed which affects the operations of public schools, the legislature provides the general direction and then rely on the State Board of Education to write the “fine print” or specific details of how the law will be interpreted and enforced. This process can become complicated and interpretation early in implementation is often fluid. Such was the case with administration of the open transfer law and how individual districts developed their local policies. In developing the policy for Guthrie Public Schools, four separate revisions were necessary prior to the start of this school year.
