Tulsa Public Schools

Prosecutors allege a former TPS official hired two contractors under bogus work orders for school roofs when no work was completed nor ever needed.

The board voted to grant Aramark one final contract for the 2026-2027 school year, but only on the condition that the district may terminate the deal when in-house operations are ready to go.

Tulsa Public Schools is asking voters to approve the largest bond package in the district’s history, a four-part, $609 million proposal officials say is essential to maintaining classrooms, facilities and student programs.

TPS officials have repeatedly said the bond package, if passed by voters, would not raise tax rates.

The package would consist of four distinct funding groups.

Schools slated for updated imagery are Union and Central. Some alumni expressed anger at the decision while current students and parents showed support.

Aramark replaced TPS’ old supplier of many years. District employees say the transition has not been smooth.

One of those schools is Unity Learning Academy, where local and state education leaders held a press conference Monday morning.

A much-anticipated state audit of Tulsa Public Schools details years of financial irregularities to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.
