Elections
2017
Three of the eight seats on the Oklahoma City Public Schools school board were up for runoff election on April 4, 2017. The runoff for all three seats was held since no candidate in any of the races received a majority of the votes cast in the general election on February 14, 2017. The district was the largest school district in the state in the 2014-2015 school year. This election fell during an ongoing community discussion on the role of charter schools. A total of 11 candidates filed for the seats, making this race the most highly-contested election in the state covered by Ballotpedia in 2017. One of the seats, that of the chairperson, was elected at large, while the other two were elected by district.
Five candidates filed to run for chairperson, including Office 4 incumbent Paula Lewis. Newcomers Stanley Hupfeld, Gregory Wyatt, Bianca Rose, and former board member Wilfredo Santos-Rivera joined Lewis on the ballot. Hupfeld and Lewis faced each other in the runoff, with Lewis winning the seat. The Office 1 incumbent did not file for re-election, leaving Nathan Shirley, Cheryl Poole, and Charles Henry to compete for the open seat, with Henry and Poole moving on to compete for the seat in the runoff. Henry won the runoff election. Office 2 incumbent Justin Ellis faced Nick Singer and Rebecca Budd in his bid for re-election. The incumbent was unsuccessful in his bid and Singer and Budd advanced to the runoff, with Budd winning the seat.[1][2][3]

Funding
Rose reported $1,851 in contributions and $1,385.02 in expenditures to the Oklahoma City Public Schools board clerk, leaving her campaign with $465.98 cash on hand as of February 7, 2017.[4]
Every school board candidate in Oklahoma who accepted or spent more than $1,000 was required to file a Statement of Organization with the school district clerk within 10 days of the transaction. This statement establishes the candidate's campaign committee and declares the names of the chair and treasurer of the committee. Once a candidate filed a Statement of Organization, his or her committee was required to make reports of contributions and expenditures.[5]
Contribution and expenditure reports had to be made for the last quarter of the year preceding the election and quarterly during the election year until the committee was dissolved and a final report of contributions and expenditures was made. The reporting dates for this 2017 election were:[6]
- January 31, 2017: Post-General Contributions and Expenditures Report
- April 30, 2017: 1st Quarter Contributions and Expenditures Report
- July 31, 2017: 2nd Quarter Contributions and Expenditures Report
