Cyndi Munson on Education

 

 


Make critical investments for our public schools

Q: Oklahoma is currently spending roughly $12,500 per student on public education, which ranks 49th out of 51 states. Is that enough?

MUNSON: I've traveled all across the state talking to families, talking to teachers about the importance of investing in public education. We are last because we do not make the proper investments to take care of our teachers. We've got to increase pay for our teachers and our support staff. We've got to increase the pipeline of teachers who are standing in front of our students who are certified, who go through the traditional education pipeline in order to make sure that our students have the best possible future. If we want more business and industry to come to the state of Oklahoma, we've got to get out of last in the nation for public education. And that starts by making critical investments for our public schools.

MAZZEI: I support school choice, because parents know what's best for their kids. She wants to pour money into an already dysfunctional system.

End the current school voucher scheme

Invest in Our Schools and Raise Teacher Pay: Oklahoma's public schools and teachers have been left behind by our leaders. Cyndi will push to bring public school funding over the regional average and provide a much needed pay raise to our public school teachers and staff. She will end the current school voucher scheme that takes millions of dollars every year and sends them to exclusive private schools.
