The records show that in mid-April, Holt asked Wilkinson to provide her with Epic’s charter school contract with the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board and the school’s for-profit management company; Wilkinson responded within 20 minutes.

The last public record is from May 9. On that date, Holt emailed Wilkinson with the subject line “Special Audit,” and provided her with the language of the Oklahoma statute that defines “special or investigative audit.”

Holt added: “I thought this information might be useful. If you could, please forward to your attorney for her reading, too.”

Asked about the records, State Auditor Byrd told the Tulsa World, “It is very common for boards across the state, whether it be school districts across the state or state boards, to talk to us about compliance issues, best practices, if they wanted to do an audit, what the procedures would be. That is all we have received from that school board.”

Wilkinson was asked whether the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board was contemplating an audit request, Wilkinson said: “There has not yet been a board meeting where that could be considered.”
