Superintendent Lucky McCrary said Thursday that the meeting was postponed because attorneys could not be present for the meeting. He said the hearing has been reset for 6 p.m. June 24 in the school cafeteria.
The school board suspended Patrice Roberts, a pre-kindergarten teacher since August 1998, with pay last month after hearing a presentation by McCrary recommending Roberts' dismissal. Roberts is now entitled to a due process hearing before the school board. Due to confidentiality laws, officials could not reveal why Roberts was suspended.
McCrary said in May that the school was investigating a reported incident and he was meeting with the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Johnny Philpot confirmed last month that his office was called to investigate an incident at the school in which a teacher was accused of "swatting" a student on the head.
No charge has been filed against Roberts, according to court records.
