Public participation at Oklahoma City School Board meetings will continue "indefinitely," the district's top official told The Oklahoman on Wednesday.

"Board member comments and public comments are still on for our board meetings," Acting Superintendent Aurora Lora said. "Both will be happening on June 27, July 1, etc."

Last week, board Chairwoman Lynne Hardin told The Oklahoman she was going to consider eliminating public comment and board member comment periods from future meetings after several outbursts and contentious exchanges.

Hardin said she planned to meet with other board members next month to discuss both options.
