Governor Kevin Stitt has named retired educator Becky Carson to the empty State Board of Education seat. Carson spent 30 years as a special education teacher.
“Becky Carson has spent her career making a difference in the lives of Oklahoma children, especially those with special needs,” said Stitt. “Her commitment to doing what’s best for students and her proven leadership will make her an outstanding addition to the State Board of Education.”
Carson holds an Oklahoma Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education, Learning Disability, Mentally Handicapped, and Physically Handicapped areas. She’s also owned and operated several businesses.
“I am honored to serve on the State Board of Education,” said Carson. “Throughout my career, I’ve always believed that every child deserves a chance to reach their full potential. I am committed, dependable, and ready to help ensure every Oklahoma student has the opportunity to succeed.”
Carson will take the seat vacated by former Board Member Trent Smith. Carson’s appointment is subject to Senate approval.
