Oklahoma City Public Schools Superintendent Aurora Lora on Monday responded directly to principals and assistant principals who claim district leadership is unresponsive and undermines morale.

Lora, in a lengthy email, addressed concerns raised by building administrators in a letter that was read during the Dec. 12 school board meeting.

"I didn't really have enough time to formulate a proper response to the letter in that board meeting since I had just received it, but I would like to be able to address it by the next board meeting," the email states.

"I am planning to reflect on the letter over the break to determine the best way we can go about addressing some of your concerns. I'm hoping some of you can get me a little more information or some examples about some of the points so I can determine the appropriate next steps."
