Despite the recent destructive fires, Mannford Students are scheduled to go back to school August 16th.
Dr. Steve Waldvogel, Superintendent of Mannford Schools, says that none of the school's structures were damaged by the flames. However, some of the students and staff members were not so fortunate.
