OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, a non-profit organization that recognizes and encourages academic excellence in Oklahoma’s public schools, is seeking nominations for its new Oklahoma Award for Outstanding Achievement in Alternative Education.

By Blake Sonne, POE General Counsel

The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution provides: “Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion.”
Although the proper meaning of these few words has been debated for
over two hundred years, perhaps nowhere else in our society has the
debate concerning the proper relationship between religion and government
been argued than in the realm of our public schools.

Taloga Public Schools is seeking a superintendent. The position will become available July 1, 2009, and applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

Interested parties should submit:

• Letter of application
• Resume
• Copies of transcripts
• Proof of Oklahoma superintendent/principal license/certification

Submit to:

Ron Brown, Superintendent
Taloga Public Schools
PO Box 158
Taloga, OK 73667

Taloga Public
Schools is an EOE.
