Where did you see that McCall is not moving forward? Not questioning, just looking for a/the source on that info. Regardless, I am disappointed in our leadership for seemingly having dragged their feet on this.
Editing my post since I found a news tweet regarding it.

Our government both state and federal is incapable of preventing business from increasing profits from govt assistant programs. Though I suspect many times that is intentional.
foioklahoma By Randy Krehbiel, tulsaworld.com: Earlier Tuesday, 17 Republican state representatives submitted a written request to McCall for an investigation of OSDE and Walters for a list of complaints that include alleged criminal violations of the state Open Meetings and Open Records acts.
Update: McCall shoots down House Republicans' call for investigation, possible Walters impeachment

McCall shoots down House Republicans' call for investigation, possible Walters impeachment
The request on Rep. Mark McBride's letterhead cites, among concerns, violations of the state open records and open meetings laws, and a lack of cooperation and communications with lawmakers. #oklaed
Violation of the ORA would be a misdemeanor.

I stand corrected.
Charles McCall coming in hot to defend Ryan Walters and, by extension, the rest of the Project 2025 agenda he's hoping to shove down Oklahomans' throats. https://www.koco.com/article/oklaho...investigation-request-charles-mccall/61868215
foioklahoma By Murray Evans, oklahoman.com: In a letter to Walters dated July 18, Drummond said his office “has received an alarming number of complaints” about how the state agency treats open records requests.

McCall wants signatures from 51 more Republicans before he will consider an investigation.
Party of big government giveaways of taxpayer money.
Nothing conservative about them. Just reckless theocratic idiots.
And I'm sure they are saying its because of inflation.
Party over state every single time.

What about voters over state rather than their party? Maybe if Republicans sense Walters will be a liability to them on election day in November, they will soon move against him by actually being able to get 51 together.
I wouldn’t hold your breath. Maybe someone with standing should sue him personally. That might get his attention.

Walters isn't making what future cases he may have before the court any easier in his favor by judging the court so outrageously. The State Supreme Court is merely going by the Oklahoma and/or U. S. Constitutions. So, Walters might as will judge those important documents as inspired by Marxists and liberal extremists. Having conservative values is not the equivalent of giving the finger to those constitutions.

Here is State Speaker McCall's canned response to people concerned about Walters:
"Thank you for reaching out. I understand your concerns and understand the frustration with the current state of OSDE. With that being said, there are very specific provisions in the Oklahoma Constitution regarding impeachment, and none of Superintendent Walters’ actions have risen to that level as of yet. He is a duly elected statewide official, and absent criminal activity, the mechanism for placing, or replacing, elected officials is elections.
While there may be allegations that the superintendent could have potentially broken Oklahoma law, the legislature has no jurisdiction and does not conduct criminal investigations. Any such investigation would be a matter for the Attorney General to investigate and charge if applicable. In the event of a conviction, then the Legislature could possibly act. Based on recent news accounts it does appear that the Attorney General is aware of the allegations and may be investigating.
Rest assured that the Legislature is keenly aware of the situation, remains vigilant and are executing our policy duties in favor of the citizens and students of Oklahoma. Thank you again for your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Charles A. McCall
Speaker of the House of Representatives
District 22 - Atoka, Coal, Johnston, Murray
(405)-557-7412 Capitol

Here is what the Oklahoma Constitution says about impeachment. It does not appear to be limited to engaging in criminal activity and helps explain why an investigation of Walters is necessary. It's getting to be around 40% of legislators, including Democrats, who support it.
"The Governor and other elective state officers, including the Justices of the Supreme Court, shall be liable and subject to impeachment for willful neglect of duty, corruption in office, habitual drunkeness, incompetency, or any offense involving moral turpitude committed while in office.:
