On the anniversary of her inauguration, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Janet Barresi spent the day answering the questions of area educators, parents and community members during the Southern Oklahoma Education Summit.
“When I get to talk to parents and teachers, I bring it back to the department and make sure what we are doing is the best for students,” Barresi said.
The summit was arranged by Sen. Frank Simpson, Rep. Pat Ownbey and Rep. Tommy Hardin.
“It’s really good for parents and teachers to hear from Dr. Barresi about reforms and her vision of education,” said Simpson. “It’s good to get answers straight from her.” Jennifer Burton, a parent of Oak Hall Episcopal and Ardmore Middle School students, said she is a fan of Barresi and her reforms.
