On Friday, the House Democratic Caucus renewed their call for the Speaker of the House to create a special bipartisan committee to investigate the possible impeachment of State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ryan Walters.
“While the Speaker has refused to act on our previous request to create a special bipartisan committee to investigate the State Superintendent, the situation has worsened,” said Representative Cyndi Munson (D-Oklahoma City). “Financial mismanagement and the inability to access information to do their jobs has caused essential employees and cabinet-level officials to resign, taxpayer dollars may have been used for campaigning, and Superintendent Walters has vowed to dismantle the very agencies that help fund our public schools. Not to mention it has been reported that over 100 school districts have yet to receive final approval from OSDE on federal program funding, and jobs in our schools hang in the balance.
“This is clearly willful neglect of duty and incompetency — both grounds for impeachment. The time to act is now.”
