OKC district will have to find a new superintendent

Shortly after submitting her resignation letter, Oklahoma City Public Schools Superintendent Aurora Lora told colleagues she probably should have done so sooner.

"She said she'd been unhappy for the last couple of months and that she made a mistake with that post and that just brought it to a head," one insider told The Oklahoman.

Lora made it official Tuesday, a week after taking aim at the school board in a late-night Facebook post the panel's leader called "regrettable."

"It is with mixed emotions that I submit my resignation as superintendent of Oklahoma City Public Schools," Lora said in her letter to the board.
