The Oklahoma State Board of Education has approved the new process for grading public schools across the state. The A-F grading system has won a lot of contention and debate, and was even delayed from releasing earlier this month. In this ONR Extra, we take you into the Board of Education meeting where the process was approved, and comments from both sides of the debate.

Numbers have come in ranking Oklahoma as 35th in the nation for cases of child abuse and neglect. But what the numbers don't tell people is why these problems keep occurring. That conundrum is what brought researchers from across the United States and around the globe, as they worked to figure out why these tragic cases of child abuse keep happening, and what can be done to stop them.

On this week's ONR, schools across the country are growing more diverse, and it's causing unique problems for some Oklahoma educators. Clean energy abounds in the Sooner state, or it's trying to. Lawmakers and leaders continue to push for compressed natural gas vehicles, and while Oklahoma is eighth in the country for wind energy production, the loss of a tax credit could leave a booming industry blowing in the wind. Out of the ashes of the state's recent wildfires, communities come together to help students left homeless from the flames, and one program is helping rural residents better fireproof vulnerable houses. Plus, a trip to Tulsa's historic Greenwood District, an exploration of a tribe's history, and a look at the high-flying women of the Museum of the 99's on this ONR.

Mannford Wildfires

Fires in the Mannford, Oklahoma area destroyed nearly 400 homes and damaged almost fifty others. It's a loss that hits even harder as families who have suddenly lost everything prepare to send children back to school. But it's a loss a community is stepping up to address.

As wildfires scorch Oklahoma, state groups and charitable organizations scramble to meet the needs of those affected by the blaze. But fires are unfortunately nothing new to the state. We speak with officials in one town that has learned the hard way how to prevent fire--and the best way to battle the flames. We speak with StateImpact Oklahoma Digital Reporter Joe Wertz about the volunteer firefighters that throw caution--and their day jobs--to the wind to save others. Plus, school funding has some officials fuming, the 2012 Kids Count report bumps the state up in the rankings of child welfare to an unenviable 40th place, and the art of the tattoo, on this episode of ONR.

The annual Kids Count report issued by the Annie E. Casey Foundation bumped Oklahoma up three places from last year. But that still puts the state in an unenviable fortieth place. While the study shows improvement in many areas, it also paints a grim picture of children falling into poverty across Oklahoma.

Recently, Governor Mary Fallin announced that she would wait until the November elections had wrapped up to decide on whether to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Healthcare Act. Similarly, state lawmakers continue to drag their feet on crafting a state healthcare exchange, hoping that a new president in the White House will reverse the law. While movement on the law remains in limbo, communities struggle to meet the healthcare demands of some 700,000 Oklahomans who have no health insurance.
