About this episode
The episode discusses the current budget situation and its implications for public education in Oklahoma, including teacher pay raises and the importance of property taxes.
Movement is picking up at the Capitol and we break down what it means for Oklahoma public education. We look at where the budget stands, what could still change, and whether “across-the-board” really means pay raises for teachers. We also take a closer look at why property taxes matter and how they support schools and other critical services. #oklaed
