Governor Kevin Stitt announced today the appointment of Katie Quebedeaux to the Oklahoma State Board of Education following the resignation of Marla Hill.

"I look forward to welcoming our newest member, Katie Quebedeaux from Guymon, Oklahoma whose extensive experience in early childhood education will make her an important voice on the State Board of Education,” said Governor Stitt. “I appreciate Marla’s willingness to serve the state and wish her nothing but the best.”
