Timeline of Oklahoma Department of Education funding issue claims

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — State Superintendent Ryan Walters called on the Speaker of the House to start his impeachment proceedings on Monday.

While that didn't happen, FOX25 is digging into how we got to this point.

• 2023- Lawmakers pass bills funding teacher maternity leave, inhalers in the classroom, and a three-year school security program
• August 2024- some districts tell their lawmakers they haven't seen the funding
• August 6th- Oklahoma Secretary of Education sent a letter to State Supt. Ryan Walters voicing her concern about the funds and a "lack of response" from him
• August 12th- House Republicans called out Walters for "questionable leadership tactics," accusing him of depriving districts of funding
• August 12th- Walters reaches out to the Attorney General for an opinion on school security and inhaler funding
• August 13th- Senate Education Chair Adam Pugh speaks with FOX25 about the funding still missing
• August 13th- Rep. Mark McBride asked lawmakers to sign a petition to investigate Walters and the Department of Education
• August 13th- The Speaker of the House said he wouldn't consider the request without 51 Republicans signing on
• August 14th- Walters called out the Representatives signing the petition on FOX25, calling them "liberal republicans" and said schools know what funds they're getting
• August 15th- the legislature announces House Republicans will be investigating the Dept. of Education's funding issues under the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency (LOFT)
• August 16th- Walters calls on lawmakers to skip the investigation and go right to impeachment trial
• August 16th- The Speaker responds that the House will investigate, not impeach
• August 18th- The AG released his opinion on security funds, saying Walters needed to release them

That brings us to today.

The districts FOX 25 reached out to still haven't heard about when they'll be receiving school security upgrade funding as of Monday night.
