OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Some Oklahoma school districts could be forced to close their doors next school year as a result of about $47 million in funding cuts due to the state's budget crisis, Superintendent Joy Hofmeister said Thursday.

The State Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to accept the recommended funding cuts of about 3 percent of the current fiscal year's school budget.

Hofmeister, a first-term Republican, said while it's difficult to know how each district will handle the cuts, schools that rely heavily on state funding and districts with depleted reserves will be most affected.

"We do know that some school districts are going to have a very difficult time remaining open" in the 2016-2017 school year, she said.
