The state Board of Education placed White Oak School District on probation Thursday after raising concerns that of the more than 970 students enrolled in White Oak, only 51 actually attend classes at the rural northeast Oklahoma school.
The rest of the students live throughout the state and have transferred into White Oak’s virtual school, which is run by the Virginia-based online education provider K12.
State schools Superintendent Sandy Garrett said her concern was that taxpayer money was going to White Oak for the 920 virtual school students, and she wanted to make certain the students were achieving academically.
