INTERIM STUDY REPORT
Common Education Committee
Rep. Ann Coody, Chairman
Oklahoma House of Representatives
Interim Study 12-036, Rep. Coody
October 16, 2012
Educational administrative efficiencies
Steven Crawford
Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration, executive director

o Currently eight school districts are sharing superintendents, meaning there are four shared
superintendents in the state.
o Usually sharing happens when a smaller school district loses its superintendent.
o Some school districts have had to reduce staff and for the last three years school districts have
diverted costs for classroom supplies to outside sources. Most districts have reduced their costs
and avoided purchases.
o School districts have looked at the possibility of cooperatives such as those that would provide
special education services.
o The Teacher Leader Effectiveness evaluation system will be a lot of work for administrators and
that will be more than one person can handle. Perhaps the need for a November evaluation
could be eliminated and maybe if a teacher receives a 5 rating, he or she would not need to
have a full-blown evaluation again. This would cut down on some of the administrative work
associated with the system.
Don Williams
Organization of Rural Oklahoma Schools
o Many rural school districts do not have transportation directors, finance directors or other
positions because the superintendent is all of those things.
o One of the ways that rural school districts are most efficient is in parental involvement.
o Rural school districts often cooperate with other school districts to save money. For example,
many school districts share treasurers, security, alternative education programs and special
education services.
o Most principals in rural districts have other roles and are not full-time principals.

Oktaha Public Schools, superintendent

o The district has created several different cooperatives to save money. The district has
cooperatives for special education, alternative education and a treasurer.
