Oklahoma’s Child Welfare Director Will Resign

Jami Ledoux, the director of child welfare services for the state of Oklahoma, recently announced that she will be resigning from the position. Ms. Ledoux cited stress as one of the main contributing factors to her decision, particularly from implementing a 2012 settlement agreement following a class-action civil rights lawsuit.

Ms. Ledoux has worked in the child welfare wing of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services for the past four years, serving as the director for three, and as an interim director for one. Her resignation will become effective as of May 31.
