The Oklahoma City Public School –Board of Education- voted to change the names of three schools that were named after Confederate generals.
All seven board members voted in favor of changing the three school names. District Superintendent Aurora Lora says she is proud of the board for making this change..
LORA: The schools that were named after Confederate leaders do not reflect the values that we have in this school district in 2017.
The three schools were named after Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and a Native American Confederate soldier, Stand Watie.
Lora says the district will soon seek community input as they work to rename the schools
