Joleen Chaney already out at Oklahoma Department of Education!

It looks like JoJo is about to embark on yet another new chapter!

Yesterday afternoon, we learned that three-time Ogle Madness finalist Joleen Chaney – the primetime KFOR news anchor turned public school PR flack – is out as Communications chief for Oklahoma Department of Education.

We discovered this after an Ogle mole sent this auto-reply to an email that was sent JoJo’s way:

Yep. That’s right. Pour a little watermelon moonshine out for a homie!

Just two months after she left the TV news biz for health reasons, only to suddenly accept a high-profile, high-stress, $150K-a-year state agency gig a few days later, Joleen Chaney is vaguely "no longer with" the Oklahoma Department of Education.
