Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 3 accused in TPS bond fraud case return to court as Kerr staff protest proposed closure (ktul.com) — Tulsa Public Schools families are watching closely as three people accused of misusing more than $779,000 in TPS bond funds head toward a November court hearing, while the district separately weighs closing or consolidating 17 school sites, including Kerr Elementary. Staff at Kerr are organizing a petition and Sept. 30 gathering before the school board's expected October vote.
2. Tickets available for final weekend of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at TPAC (ktul.com) — Tulsa theater fans still have one last chance this weekend to catch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center's Liddy Doenges Theatre. World Stage Theatre Company is staging four final performances from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, offering a local run of the classic drama about power, freedom, and resilience.
3. Tulsa Council hears comments, plans more debate before vote on police oversight plan (newson6.com) — Tulsa's City Council is moving toward an October 14 vote on creating an independent office to review police and other public safety agencies, including a civilian oversight board. Councilors are split over cost and structure, with some citing large legal settlements and others questioning whether a new office without subpoena power would be effective.
4. Woman speaks out 30 years after Tulsa father was killed in unsolved shooting (newson6.com) — Thirty years after her father Ricky Krater was found shot to death in a Tulsa alley, his daughter is urging anyone with information to finally come forward. She's sharing memories of the loving dad and Army veteran she lost, while Tulsa homicide detectives continue to seek tips through Crime Stoppers to solve the long-cold case.
5. Tulsa Fire Department to use Manna Air Delivery for medical emergencies (kjrh.com) — Tulsa residents will soon see drones helping firefighters deliver defibrillators and trauma kits before trucks arrive, thanks to a new pilot partnership between Tulsa Fire Department and Manna Air Delivery. The Ireland-based company, which bases its U.S. operations in Tulsa, isn't charging the city during testing and also plans a north Tulsa manufacturing hub that could employ up to 100 people.
