Impeccable timing. Just one day after our Chapter event covering the legal issues behind the St. Isidore cases, the Supreme Court granted cert to hear those cases.

SCOTUS to decide if the nation’s first-ever religious charter school should open in Oklahoma.

Congrats to chapter member Ben Lepak on being appointed to serve as General Counsel to Governor Kevin Stitt.

Ben Lepak drafted the Oklahoma Statewide Charter School board's motion to pursue U.S. Supreme Court intervention to allow a proposed taxpayer-funded religious school.

"Tulsa County commissioners have received four options for addressing the shortage of space and poor conditions at the 70-year-old courthouse at 500 S. Denver Ave. downtown.

None of them is cheap, and all of them call for building on a new site."

A six-story annex on the west side of Denver Avenue between Sixth and Seventh streets, directly across Sixth Street from the existing courthouse, was among four possible scenarios presented Wednesday.

"The County asked the consultant to only consider sites within the IDL, with plenty of room future needs and plenty of parking.

One option being considered is the now closed Hiland Dairy Plant on North Denver Avenue. The site is large enough, it's on the market, and just across the street from the Jail."

Tulsa County might replace the current courthouse with a new building at another site, to resolve issues of inadequate space and outdated infrastructure in the current building.
