Aug. 9—Students are checking out their Chromebooks and sitting through orientation in preparation for the start of Fort Gibson's new school year on Thursday.

"We're excited about receiving kids," Fort Gibson Superintendent Scott Farmer said. "We just ask people to drive safely and slow down in school zones and bus stops."

Farmer said no changes will affect parents' pick-up or drop-off during the school day.

"No changes will have a bearing on what our flow of traffic has been, so we just encourage people to study our local pick-up procedures, and if you don't know them, call our building offices, and they'll walk through the procedures," he said.

The district also has 14 new teachers.

"We've got a few new ones in each building," Farmer said on Monday. "Teachers came back today. They reported this morning for our convocation; now they're at their respective buildings."

Enrollment is expected to be around 1,800 students.

"It's always hard to tell, and sometimes it takes a few days to know exactly what that is, but we're expecting to stay pretty steady from last year," Farmer said.

Several hundred high school students checked out Chromebooks on Monday and more are expected on Tuesday.

Former U.K. chancellor and current conservative candidate Rishi Sunak could very well be Britain’s first person of color to be elected prime minister; however, very few of the Stanford business school professors Sunak has deemed “inspiring” reportedly have any recollection of him. Sunak, 42, has cited his MBA experience at Stanford business school as life-changing in several speeches. In an episode of 20VC’s venture capital podcast last year, the former U.K. chancellor shared that Stanford “teaches you to think bigger” and that studying in the heart of Silicon Valley pushed him to embrace “a slightly bigger, more dynamic approach to change.”
