How many teachers from NY and CA were honestly thinking about taking a job in Oklahoma in the first place?

Oklahoma will test some incoming teachers with ‘America-first’ exam

A thread about my thoughts on a national tracking database for teachers in the wake of the Clinton and Cristen Brink murders by former teacher James Andrew McGann who was set to teach in Springdale, Arkansas this fall.
If there isn’t a central database tracking the employment history of teachers—including reasons for termination—then individuals like James Andrew McGann can slip through the cracks.
