Barresi Camp Asking For Emails With Hofmeister
Janet Barresi campaign asks schools for correspondence with rival candidate Joy Hofmeister

Several Tulsa-area school districts have received Open Records requests from state Superintendent Janet Barresi’s re-election campaign for any communications between employees and Barresi’s Republican rival Joy Hofmeister.
“I’m tempted to ignore it like they’ve ignored all my correspondence the last four years,” Sand Springs Superintendent Lloyd Snow said. “But we’ll reply. We always do.”
Tulsa Public Schools, along with Jenks, Sand Springs, Sapulpa and Union, received a request dated May 8. The campaign asks that districts provide the records by May 23
The request specifies any communication — written or electronic — that contains the name “Joy Hofmeister” between March 1 and April 1, school officials say.
Why, what are they looking for? They see her stand on her website, they’ve debated her, so WHY do they think they need these emails?
I think the school administrators have more important things to do at the end of the school year than fill request by Barresi and her camp for political ammunition to use against her opponent. Shame on you Janet!!! You do not have the best interest of our children and schools in you quest to extend your job. Your time in office will soon come to a close and you can go back to Dentistry where you belong.
