OKC, Miami superintendents make wager

BY RYAN ABER raber@opubco.com The Oklahoma City and Miami mayors aren't the only officials from the two cities wagering on the NBA Finals. Oklahoma City Public School Superintendent Karl Springer and Miami-Dade County Public School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho have made a wager that will be paid off when school resumes in August. If the Thunder win, Carvalho will wear a Thunder jersey and teach a lesson on Oklahoma history to Miami-Dad County public school students. If the Heat win, Springer will wear a Heat jersey and teach a class on Florida history at an OKCPS site. "I am looking forward to seeing the pictures from Miami when Mc. Carvalho wears the OKC Thunder blue," Springer said in a release. "I have full confidence in our team and this is a great chance for Floridians to learn more about Oklahoma City and our state." OKCPS classes start Aug. 1, while Miami-Dade County Public Schools begin Aug. 20.
