Led by Senate Education Committee Chairman Senator Adam Pugh, Senate Republicans Wednesday rolled out their education agenda for the upcoming session. Among the nearly 30 bills, the lawmakers are proposing another round of tiered teacher pay raises, enhancements of teacher recruitment and education programs, and further development of workforce training instruction.
“This plan is ambitious and will build on the successes we had last year,” Pugh said. “If we want to get to where we need to be to improve education in Oklahoma, we must put our priorities in the right places. This slate of legislation is targeted and will put us on the right trajectory to what Oklahoma kids deserve, while rewarding teachers working in our classrooms and deliver much needed reforms. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate to see these measures come to fruition.”
