Superintendent Comments
Discussion:
Mr. Armstrong welcomed Representatives Mark Lawson and Kyle Hilbert then turned the floor over to them to discuss Legislative Update, Oklahoma Virtual Charter Programs, and Vaping in public Schools.
|
|
|
Legislative update and Oklahoma Virtual Charter programs and state appropriations.
Discussion:
Representative Mark Lawson started their time with thanking everyone for their support and reassuring teachers and staff that raises are at the top of Governor Stitt's list. It is a very busy time at the Capitol as budgets, numbers, and funds are all being put together for a final total to be given on February 20, 2019. The conversation then turned to the hot topic of Virtual Schools and trying to understand why they are receiving the same amount of money for funding but are not following the same guidelines. Mr. Lawson pointed to a House Bill 1395 as a great first step to making virtual schools play by the same rules as brick mortar schools. This bill was set to be heard this week but is being held back to add more information to make the bill even stronger. A part of the bill focuses on virtual schools reporting all financial transactions to (OCAS) Oklahoma Cost Accounting System. There are many unanswered questions about the operation of virtual schools. Mr. Lawson has a meeting set up with EPIC Members to get a better understanding and offered to take any questions with him to this meeting in hopes of getting answers.
Representative Kyle Hilbert answered the question about vaping in schools which will not be allowed and still continues to be prohibited under the Tobacco Act. He also added that things have been going well at the Capitol and while they still may be in the honeymoon phase, Governor Stitt is focused on making the State of Oklahoma a Top 10 State. |
