Truancy Ordinance Removed From Tulsa City Council Agenda

A controversial ordinance meant to reduce truancy in public schools was removed from the Tulsa City Council agenda on Wednesday.

Councilor Karen Gilbert say that without a commitment from Tulsa Public Schools, she feels there is no choice but to pull the ordinance from consideration.

Two weeks ago, TPS issued a letter opposing the ordinance just before a city council meeting and the council pushed the issue to this week’s agenda.
