OKLAHOMA CITY – Several state lawmakers have requested approval of a study during the interim to investigate the practices and procedures used by the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association (OSSAA) in responding to complaints and handling student appeals.

The lawmakers asked for the study after hearing from parents from all across the state who are raising questions and expressing frustrations with the methods used by the OSSAA.

The Salvation Army is on the ground in Moore, Oklahoma with multiple canteens and personnel coordinating with Local and State Emergency Management to serve first responders and those affected by the tornado.    Captain Carlyle Gargis from the Fort Smith Corps arrived Tuesday morning at 8am to serve in the Oklahoma City/Moore area, and the Fort Smith Disaster Services Team is on standby to be sent in as reinforcements as this will be a long-term endeavor.

A possible tornado may be to blame for damage in LeFlore County Monday night (May 20). 5NEWS Meterologist Joe Pennington gets an update from emergency management director Michael Davidson.
