Stories from the Education Field: Broken Arrow’s Story of Ensuring Access to Educational Materials

New America’s Kristina Ishmael interviews Karla Dyess, Associate Superintendent of Broken Arrow Public Schools in Broken Arrow, OK. In the interview, Dyess talks about how the school district designed curriculum for students to access without the Internet through a community partnership with Wal-Mart. While this model was originally developed to address the challenges of crisis distance learning during the 2019-2020 school year,, it may prove useful to other schools in the coming year. This interview is part of a project from New America’s Education Policy team to share Stories from the Field during COVID-19.
