Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond removed the Oklahoma State Board of Education’s attorney, Cara Nicklas, for not adhering to an official AG Opinion on allowing legislators to attend executive sessions of agency boards.

Oklahoma Voice’s Nuria Martinez-Keel writes former State Department of Education general counsel and current general counsel for Drummond, Brad Clark, attended the meeting as the Board’s legal advisor.

The Board has not conducted an executive session over the past couple of meetings.
