Chuck Richardson, an attorney for Epic, issued the following written press statement late Wednesday: “Epic and its founders will continue to cooperate with investigators, who have now been probing the school for more than six years. It is important to note that no charges have ever been filed. We are confident that the end result of this investigation will be as it has always been — no finding of wrongdoing.”

An hour later, a statement directed to Epic employees and parents was posted on the school’s social media accounts, stating that “our school, CFO and current and past board members have done nothing wrong.”

“Many of you have likely read the latest article from the Tulsa World. Please do not let this distract you from your important work in preparing for the upcoming school year. Today’s action by the OSBI is simply the latest in six years of continued allegations that we continue to prove false at every opportunity,” says the statement from new Superintendent Bart Banfield.

The Epic Board of Education released a statement after meeting in executive session for an hour and a half Wednesday night, repeating much of the information released earlier in the day in Richardson’s statement and on social media.
