One of the seven seats on the Tulsa Public Schools Board of Education was up for by-district runoff election on April 4, 2017. The runoff for District 3 was held since no candidate received a majority of the votes cast in the general election on February 14, 2017.
In District 3, newcomer Jennettie Marshall won election against incumbent Lana Turner-Addison and fellow challenger Whitney Cole. Since no candidate in the general election received more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters—Turner-Addison and Marshall—advanced to the runoff election, with Marshall winning the seat. The District 2 seat was also up for general election on February 14, 2017. Incumbent Wilbert Collins Sr. filed for re-election and faced challengers Judy Eason McIntyre, Phil Armstrong, and Amy Shelton, although McIntyre later withdrew from the race. Shelton was successful in ousting the incumbent from his seat and won outright.[2][3]
