Nonwhite students majority in public schools for first time

White students continue to still be the state's largest single ethnicity, but the overall white student population in Oklahoma declined by almost 4,000 students from the 2015-2016 school year.

Hispanic enrollment, representing Oklahoma's second largest single ethnicity, increased by more than 4,000 in public schools.

According to a 2016 report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Oklahoma leads all other states in cuts to education since 2008.
