Midwest City-Del City Public Schools typically has its federal spending plans approved by the state by the end of September, Superintendent Rick Cobb said. It's usually a quick process after that to receive federal reimbursements, which support employee salaries, teacher training and extra resources for students.

The Supreme Court's dismantling of affirmative action earlier this year sent chills down the spines of higher education and K12 leaders alike over fears that students won't have equal access to college. New data from the U.S. Department of Education reveals just how widespread the practice was.

Teachers could be moved into other positions as DISD revamps courses in efforts to put more students on career and college pathways, Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde said.
