Bixby Public Schools Superintendent Robert Miller files a defamation lawsuit against Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters over allegations related to Title I funding and reputation damage.
Bixby Public Schools Superintendent Robert Miller has filed a defamation lawsuit against Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters, seeking over $75,000 in damages. The dispute began over Title I funding, a federal program supporting low-income students, with Miller claiming districts previously received preliminary funding figures in the spring but not this year. Walters responded on social media and in an interview, suggesting Miller was lying and causing a fake political crisis. Miller alleges Walters' statements were malicious and defamatory, causing damage to his reputation. The case follows a previous complaint by Bixby Public Schools demanding a public apology and retraction of the "inaccurate and malicious statement".
