Grand Jury Picked

By KWGS News

Tulsa, OK – A grand jury is seated to look into the Skiatook School District's spending habits. The jury was seated yesterday by Presiding District Court Judge Thomas Thornburgh. The jury consists of four men and eight women.

The jury's hearings will be behind closed doors. They will look into a state auditor's report that shows the district wasted $750,000 on over prices supplies and alarm systems. The school board has accepted the resignation of then superintendent Gary Johnson.

Under Oklahoma law, the jury was complete its work by the end of the month and review conditions at the Tulsa Jail.
