school. KIPP Tulsa was founded in 2005 and now serves grades 5-12 in middle

and high school. Nationally, other same-state KIPP mergers / integrations are

occurring to better leverage outcomes, scale, and sustainability. In early 2021,

the KIPP Tulsa and OKC boards approved the hire of shared Executive Director

Darius Kirk and the launch of a due diligence and planning process currently

underway with support from consultants and KIPP Foundation to determine

whether the two regions should combine to become KIPP Oklahoma. As of

December 2021, the KIPP Oklahoma merger was voted on and completed by each representative board of directors. KIPP Oklahoma will officially launch July

1, 2022.

The Five Pillars of KIPP

1. High Expectations. KIPP schools have clearly defined and measurable high

expectations for academic achievement and conduct that make no excuses based on

the students' backgrounds. Students, parents, teachers, and staff create and reinforce a

culture of achievement and support through a range of formal and informal rewards and

consequences for academic performance and behavior.

2. Choice & Commitment. Students, their parents, and the faculty of each KIPP

school choose to participate in the program. No one is assigned or forced to attend a

KIPP school. Everyone must make and uphold a commitment to the school and to each

other to put in the time and effort required to achieve success.

3. More Time. KIPP schools know that there are no shortcuts when it comes to

success in academics and life. With an extended school day, week, and year, students

have more time in the classroom to acquire the academic knowledge and skills that will

prepare them for competitive high schools and colleges, as well as more opportunities

to engage in diverse extracurricular experiences.

4. Power to Lead. The principals of KIPP schools are effective academic and

organizational leaders who understand that great schools require great school leaders.

They have control over their school budget and personnel. They are free to swiftly move

dollars or make staffing changes, allowing them maximum effectiveness in helping

students learn.

5. Focus on Results. KIPP schools relentlessly focus on high student performance

on standardized tests and other objective measures. Just as there are no shortcuts,

there are no excuses. Students are expected to achieve a level of academic performance that will enable them to succeed at the nation's best high schools and

colleges. Teachers will be provided consistent and constant professional development.
