The superintendent of the state’s largest online charter school stepped down this week amid a massive downs i z i ng. Another top administrator resigned in mid-April.

And the Statewide Charter School Board is now investigating the school’s fiscal integrity, reported the Tulsa World’s Andrea Eger. As Epic’s charter authorizer, the board oversees the school and its finances.

Epic eliminated 357 teaching and administrative jobs last week and announced plans to shutter its in-person learning centers. It had already trimmed 144 jobs and implemented pay cuts in October.

Epic Charter Schools announced Monday that superintendent Bart Banfield resigned. Banfield became superintendent in 2019 as the school faced criminal investigations, a forensic audit and threat of closure.

Deputy Superintendent of Finance Jeanise Wynn has also resigned.

Epic hired Wynn in 2021, four months after the state auditor released a scathing investigative audit. Those findings led the state to charge the school’s two co-founders, David Chaney and Ben Harris, and chief financial officer, Josh Brock, with embezzlement and other financial crimes.
