Mid-Del School District

Mid-Del Families, We want to inform you about recent social media threats of violence directed at multiple secondary schools in the metro area and across the state. Our staff, along with local authorities, are thoroughly investigating the sources of these threats, and while they have been deemed to be of very low credibility, we feel it’s important to keep you informed. Rest assured, our schools remain safe, and all safety protocols are in place. Unfortunately, these types of social media threats have become more common, but they are still taken very seriously. Each threat will be fully investigated, and those responsible for making or sharing such threats can face severe consequences. We encourage you to talk to your student(s) about the responsible use of social media. As always, if you see something concerning, please report it to our administration immediately to ensure proper investigation. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. Thank you for your continued support. Update: At this time, no Mid-Del Schools have received a threatening message. We appreciate the families who have seen social media posts and have shared them with our schools.

Patriot Day is a national day of remembrance that commemorates the victims of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and United Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania. Established by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in December 2001, Patriot Day serves as a reminder of the impact of that day on the nation and the world. It is a day for Americans to honor the memories of those who perished, to pay tribute to the bravery of the first responders, and to reflect on the values of freedom, democracy, and resilience. #PatriotDay #NeverForget

Mid-Del Board of Education Names Ian Wolfe as Executive Director of Operations The Mid-Del Board of Education is proud to announce the appointment of Mr. Ian Wolfe as the district's new Executive Director of Operations.

After spending 10 years as a welder, he became a passionate advocate for vocational and technical education programs. He holds multiple degrees, including undergraduate qualifications in Occupational Safety and Industrial Safety, as well as a Master’s degree in Fire & Emergency Management. Mr. Wolfe began his career in safety as a Safety Coordinator with Oklahoma County before serving as Risk Manager at Oklahoma City University. In 2014, he joined Oklahoma City Public Schools as the Director of Safety, where he made significant contributions by creating the role of Emergency Manager, overseeing the low voltage team and locksmiths, and personally training more than 100 Operations employees in the OSHA 10-Hour General Industry course under the OSHA Outreach Program. Mr. Wolfe steps into the role following the retirement of Mr. Mike Bryan.
