Quote of the Day | August 16, 2018

“Oklahoma schools are in a much better place. But we are still not where we need to be. We won’t be until we have teachers in every classroom and have students with the resources they need in every school. I think no single stroke of a governor’s pen can reverse the eroded funding to public education that’s occurred over the last decade.”

-State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister
