OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Former State Superintendent Ryan Walters handed out two more five-figure, taxpayer-funded “performance bonuses” to top staff in his final days in office, including one to a press secretary who had only been on the job a matter of weeks.
About a week passed between the time Walters announced his resignation on Fox News on September 24 and when he officially left office on September 30.
During that week, new records obtained by News 4 reveal Walters gave out two large taxpayer-funded performance bonuses to staff at the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
Among them was his executive assistant Lexie Flanagan.

The records show Walters also gave press secretary Madison Cercy a massive payment on his way out the door.
Cercy only joined OSDE in July. She graduated college one year prior, according to her LinkedIn profile.
