The Hood County News reports in today's paper that William Stokes has been selected by the Lipan School Board as the new superintendent. Mr. Stokes, age 51, recently retired with 26 years of experience leading 3 different school districts in Oklahoma. He and his wife Carol have one son who attends OSU. This spring Stokes retired from the Boswell school district in Choctaw County in SE part of the state just east of Durant. From the internet it appears Boswell High enrolls about 140 students. The Lipan Board will make the appointment official in mid July after the required 21 day exposure period for the name of the finalist.
We will look forward to getting to know Mr. Stokes. He will come to know Lipan Country as a community of great promise and appreciation of excellent team work. Also, its no little known fact that Garrison Keillor might say, "Lipan is where all the women are beautiful, all the men are good looking and all the children are above average!" Welcome to Lipan Country, home of the Lipan Indians!
