OKC Public Schools need a new superintendent… again.

Along with death and taxes, one of the few certainties in life is the Oklahoma City School District needing a new superintendent. It seems like something that happens every couple of years or so, like a group of planets aligning or Christina Fallin finding a new husband or boyfriend.

We were reminding about this yesterday when OKCPS Superintendent Aurora Lora – no, that's not her stage name – resigned yesterday following a series of late night Facebook posts where she complained about her job.

"She said she'd been unhappy for the last couple of months and that she made a mistake with that post and that just brought it to a head," one insider told The Oklahoman.

Lora made it official Tuesday, a week after taking aim at the school board in a late-night Facebook post the panel's leader called "regrettable."
