Governor Kevin Stitt’s choice for the State Board of Education is Sarah Lepak, a senior environmental project manager for QuikTrip Corp. Bill Flanagan recently resigned from the board.

“I am pleased to nominate Sarah Lepak to serve on the State Board of Education,” said Stitt. “I am confident that she will put the needs of students first and strive to make Oklahoma Top Ten in education.” Lepak is a Claremore native.

“I’m honored to be nominated and look forward to serving on the Board,” said Lepak. “I am happy to give of my time and experience to help ensure Oklahoma kids are well-prepared for the future.”

Lepak will need to be confirmed by the Oklahoma Senate.
