The Board decided the unexpectedly harsh action should be taken by 4—2 vote. Board Member Carlisha Williams Bradley, who is the board’s lone African American and executive director of ImpactTulsa, and Hofmeister, who is former Republican-turned-Democrat running for governor, were the only two members of the seven-member board who voted against this censure of Tulsa Public Schools. Board member Trent Smith, who is a commissioner on the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, was absent and did not vote.
