The direction of the Tulsa School Board needs to change for the sake of our children.

The person to begin that transformation is Dr. Jerry Griffin.

Griffin is a candidate for the Tulsa School Board in District 6. Here are his credentials:

  • He has a Doctor of Educational Leadership from The University of Tulsa.
  • He has an Executive Juris Doctorate from Purdue University Global.
  • He has a Master of Business Administration from SMU.
  • He has a bachelor’s degree of business administration from TU.
  • And he is a graduate of Tulsa Edison High School.

Dr. Griffin is a certified teacher in middle-school social studies and business education in Oklahoma. He has been an adjunct professor at The University of Oklahoma, Grand Canyon University, Walden University, Oklahoma Wesleyan University and Southern Nazarene University.

Plus, he spent four years in the United States Marine Corps and two years in the Peace Corps in Botswana.

He is a court-appointed special advocate (CASA) and a volunteer with Reading Partners of Tulsa.

Dr. Griffin is so much more qualified than his opponent, Ruth Ann Fate, who symbolizes the mismanagement of TPS that has resulted in a giant budget deficit and declining test scores and enrollment.

Tulsa Public Schools needs a new direction.

The Tulsa Beacon endorses Dr. Jerry Griffin as the best and most qualified candidate in Tulsa Public School Board District 6. Please vote for him on April 7.
