The Oklahoma State Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to revoke the teaching licenses of one teacher and send the case of two others to a hearing officer during a terse August meeting.
Summer Boismier had her state teaching license pulled while Allison Scott and Regan Killackey had their cases sent to a hearing officer Thursday, setting up what could be an ongoing court fight. Speaking to reporters after the state board’s meeting, state schools Superintendent Ryan Walters said Boismier broke the law.
“She (Boismier) broke the law,” Walters said. “And I said from the beginning, when you have a teacher that breaks the law, said she broke the law, (and) said she will continue to break the law — that can’t stand.”
Walters said he wanted Oklahomans to be very clear that Oklahoma State Department of Education would hold teachers accountable. “The Legislature passes laws, we have rules, teacher code of conduct that goes along with those things ― those will be enforced. I wanted every parent to know they have the best teacher possible in their kid’s classroom.”
