Low Performing Schools
Featured in Top Stories
The State Board of Education has formally approved the final list of the lowest performing public schools. The board's final decision reduced the number of schools from seven to six, giving an Oklahoma City charter school another chance to prove they are not among the worst schools in the state. However, one other school that was left on the list is expected to make a formal appeal to be removed.

The Pinnacle Plan outlines broad reforms for the Department of Human Services. The State Department of Education works through the process of determining which public schools are low performing and how to rank them. A rise in Oklahoma’s pollen levels is increasing the risk of severe attacks in asthma patients. The drive to "eat local" is bringing more people out to farmer's markets. All that, plus a look at the survivor tree, 17 years after the federal building bombing, next on ONR.

Bully Documentary
Featured in Top Stories
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people in the United States. Some data indicates bullying is linked to half of all suicides among 10 to 14 year olds. A much-talked about new documentary "Bully" is bringing the depth of the problem to light across the nation, and in Oklahoma and encouraging efforts in schools to address this pervasive problem.

School Waiver
Featured in Top Stories
Oklahoma public education is undergoing major change. One of those changes: the state received a waiver from the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind law that allowed Oklahoma to implement its own plan to identify low performing schools and improve them. The process of identifying those schools is raising questions about how the state is deciding which schools need help.

Oklahoma's new approach to improving public schools reduces the role of the federal government, but has not reduced controversy. Our series on addiction examines the effects in Indian country. The documentary "Bully" strikes close to home, highlighting bullying in Oklahoma schools. One of the students featured in the film talks about the problem. And an Oklahoma shelter encourages parents to consider alternatives to rabbits as Easter gifts. All that and more, next on ONR.

Help to reduce Oklahoma’s high infant mortality rate is available, but many Oklahoma mothers don't take advantage of it...sometimes with disastrous results.

In a women's history month feature, we learn about an organization that's been training Oklahoma women since shortly after statehood. A small-town museum is providing a big economic boost along Oklahoma’s Highway 9. And two legendary journalists discuss the story that brought down a president. Those stories and more, straight ahead on ONR.

Cuts to Oklahoma military bases have cost more than a thousand positions so far, but much bigger cutbacks are still possible if congress fails to act. As the nation marks "sunshine week", advocates of open government step up efforts to increase transparency at the state capitol. Oklahoma is losing its fight against addiction, as the scourge of substance abuse, legal and illegal, continues to grip large segments of our population. A crusader for gender equity in the workplace talks about her fight for equal pay. And we look at how design, art, and risk-taking combine to drive the passion of one Oklahoman entrepreneur. All of that and more, next on ONR.

High School Dropouts
Featured in Top Stories
Oklahoma's high school dropout rate as reported by the State Department of Education has been slashed by just over half in the past decade. But it's still difficult for school districts to accurately determine how many students are dropouts because they failed to earn a diploma, and how many are considered dropouts because they quit attending classes at a particular school.

Higher Ed Improvements

Improving higher education in Oklahoma was one of the key points in Governor Mary Fallin's State of the State address. How Oklahoma achieves that goal has yet to be answered. Oklahoma has seen a surge in the number of people enrolling in college but less than half are earning a diploma.
