## Resource

Tulsa Public Schools has hired Eric McCurdy as its new Athletic Director — a move that’s sparked controversy after his rocky tenure in Seattle, where he faced a $500K settlement over a hostile work environment lawsuit and later sued the district for wrongful termination, receiving $400K. Despite legal baggage and warnings from legal experts about the need for rigorous vetting of senior administrators, especially those overseeing staff and youth programs, McCurdy’s appointment moved forward without opposition from the school board. The district remains upbeat, praising his athletic leadership and community ties as they gear up for a new era in TPS athletics.
