Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Oklahoma School Deregulation is about better local schools,
					 local school improvement and local student results. It is based on a strongly
					 held belief that rules, standards and regulations cannot in and of themselves
					 foster improvement in education. The appropriate place for developing
					 innovations and meeting student needs is at the local district and individual
					 school site levels-thus, a fundamental focus of Oklahoma School Deregulation is
					 to ensure that local schools have the necessary freedom and flexibility to
					 innovate as they continue to strive toward school improvement and student
					 results.
