A8) If the legislators do not support education we can't support them on Election Day! #OklaEd

@ryanowens84 no but until ps and ss feel the impact we will not see change in voting. #oklaed have been amazing stewards of limited funds

A8: Why can't business interests accept from their elected leaders that they must pay their fair share? #oklaed https://t.co/LgS75N1k8f

Q8. Should #oklaed simply accept from our elected leaders that education must be cut this year?

BlueCerealEduc Jan 31 @ 9:55 PM EST

A8: Start NOW contacting legis and telling them WHAT you support and why. Talk UP those who do good as well - and tell them WHY. #oklaed

@smithroland94 @DawnieCash The way I understand it, oil in the ground is not going to another state, right? #oklaed

They want us to love our Ss, then take advantage of the fact that we love our Ss. They know our Ss will keep us in the profession. #oklaed

@jwalkup @KathySDunn Do you propose carving policy out of the outliers? #oklaed

sjparkokc Jan 31 @ 9:56 PM EST

A8) NO!! Not with tax credits and money off the top of the budget for roads and bridges! Our students deserve a gr8 future @USSA10 #oklaed

montgomeryok Jan 31 @ 9:56 PM EST

A8: No! Collaborate with an advisory council, that includes educators, to find reasonable solutions. #oklaed

A8 NO. And if they think we should, we need to VOTE THEM OUT. We won't be silenced. #Oklaed

We have a stu T and his wife who teaches locally who are headed to Texas! Would love to keep them home!#oklaed https://t.co/5C2ddTHfOi

#OklaEd What's the solution for this? https://t.co/wE70o3wjGN

lorie_brady Jan 31 @ 9:56 PM EST

#oklaed to make an impact in high poverty areas you must have small class sizes and highly qualified teachers. https://t.co/9K4kimmdUc

jwalkup Jan 31 @ 9:54 PM EST

@KathySDunn And there are schools steeped in poverty that score high on Similar Schools Ranking. #oklaed

marvelsagentedu Jan 31 @ 9:56 PM EST

@RepWood You are right...we need good policy makers and wise policy motion makers to step up and in where needed.. #oklaed you seem wise....

governor_savage Jan 31 @ 9:56 PM EST

A8: We must never "accept" the thought of a cut to education. We must fight to make sure we are investing in the future generation. #oklaed

RepWood Jan 31 @ 9:56 PM EST

You are absolutely right - do so well with less and you will receive less #oklaed it's a double edged sword https://t.co/6dGMP5Hz21

The Challenge for this Legislative Session is to always share a solution with your legislator when talking about #OklaEd issues

jwalkup Jan 31 @ 9:57 PM EST

@grendelrick @KathySDunn These aren't outliers. #oklaed

While I didn't get to participate much in #oklaed tonight, it was interesting to learn about the politics in OK #FTK #alwayslearning #edtech

A8: We don't need to get our way on everything, but we do need to be a factor in decision-making. Our kids CAN'T do that part. #oklaed
