OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – The Oklahoma Secretary of Education has announced her resignation just three months after taking on the position, saying her skills are best utilized in a classroom.

In January, Governor Kevin Stitt reappointed now State Superintendent Ryan Walters as Education Secretary until 2027.

However, his appointment was never confirmed by the Senate and the Oklahoma Attorney General said Walters could not hold the Secretary of Education position while also being State Superintendent.

So, Gov. Stitt appointed Dr. Katherine Curry as the new Secretary of Education in April.
