Connie will invest in every Oklahoma K-12 student, regardless of zip code, via a properly funded public education system that features well-paid, quality teachers, quality technology and resources, and social supports that ensure success in and outside the classroom. She will prioritize student-centered funding to ensure that all students have the opportunity to rise to their highest potential with high quality instructors. Connie will get to the bottom of the system’s current lack of transparency, and the failure to incorporate community input via locally elected school boards that reflect parental voices in school decisions. She will work with families, teachers, and schools to make sure their voices matter.
