With the 2016 legislative sessions winding down, Education still has not been adequately addressed. Students, teachers, and parents are scratching their heads wondering how it got this bad and why education funding is still being cut.
On the heels of student walkouts and the Let's Fix This 2: Another Day at the Capitol for Regular Folks student march, we are teaming up with Oklahoma Parents and Educators for Public Education, Douglass High School PTSA, and dozens of other schools across the state to gather at the Capitol on Thursday, May 26th and remind legislators one more time that they need to #DoSomethingOK about public education.
Groups of students and parents from across the state will be meeting at Douglass Mid-High School at 9:00am to march to the Capitol, with a planned arrival of 10:00am, where they will gather inside with other stakeholders to visit with legislators and encourage them that it is not too late to do something for education funding.
----------------------------
WHO SHOULD COME
Students, Parents, Teachers, and everyone else who cares about public education. Everyone who wants to see our state stop being last in everything who believes that Oklahoma's children deserve an education that is appropriately funded. So really, pretty much everyone should come.
---------------------------
WHAT TO WEAR
"Wear Red for Public Ed." Red shirts, red pants, red whatever you have. I don't even care if it matches; the more red, the better. Red for Public Ed. It sounds good, it looks good.
