A Leadership Perspective You Don’t Usually Hear
Keynote Speaker Jason Perez

Student transportation doesn’t operate in isolation. It connects directly to district leadership, priorities, and decisions that shape daily operations. That’s what makes this year’s keynote worth your time.

At the Oklahoma Association for Pupil Transportation’s 50th Annual Conference, Dr. Jason Perez, Superintendent of Deer Creek Public Schools, brings a rare perspective shaped by more than two decades in education as teacher, principal, state leader, and district superintendent.

His session goes beyond theory. It connects what happens on the route to what’s happening at the district level, including:

  • Staffing and workforce challenges
  • Operational expectations across multiple schools
  • Safety priorities from leadership and communities

It’s a side of the conversation transportation professionals don’t always get to hear but one that directly impacts how teams train, plan, and operate.

Join us June 7–11 in Durant and be part of the session that sets the tone for the entire conference.
