there weren't any schools IN downtown, so Charter was the quickest and best quality way to do it at the time. OKCPS is in a much better position, and there are no more "empty pockets" left in OKC to justify a brand new, exclusive public school (downtown was the only spot since it had long just been conceived as a business/entertainment area).
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
