We are teachers taking a stand. We seek funding for better schools and wages that will recruit, retain, and inspire the best teachers. #LastResortOK

2/4 If Oklahoma fails to conduct these tests then Oklahoma loses Federal funding to the tune of millions. Plan 2 is that teachers will go on spring break and not return. In doing so, the state legislatures have a week before we get to the nuclear option the following week.

3/4 Further discussions are being made with large school systems, PTSAs, unions, and school boards to continue to build consensus on this strike strategy. It is expected that a strike date will be announced this coming Friday March 9th.

4/4 We urge all teachers to begin talking to colleagues, administrators, school board members, and most importantly your PTSA as they will need to manage the children in our absence. During spring break a protest will be held at the Capitol to urge legislatures to take action.

Your wish is my command - gofundme.com/oklahoma-teach… This fund will help market this event to be sure every teacher in the state is aware of what's going on and how they can help, helps provide legal support to our team, and aids in supplies needed during the strike. #LastResortOK x.com/apeirophobic/s…

We had some comments on the strike fund, and I'd like to clear a few things up - this initial gofundme is for spreading the word and protecting the teachers going public with this. Not being a strike organizer, I wasn't attempting to mislead with the "strike fund" terminology.

I can assure you that every penny donated is going to the strike in one way or another. Reaching out to teachers, protecting teachers, and helping teachers once we're there. If you don't wish to contribute at this point, I'm sure other funds will appear later. It all helps.

We'd also like to give a big shout out to WV teachers on the conclusion of their successful strike! CONGRATULATIONS! #solidarity #teacherstrike #shutitdown #OklaEd #LastResortOK nbcnews.com/news/us-news/w…

For us #OklahomaTeachers it's back to work. Here's the deal- we're meeting tomorrow with OKC for a vote, which will be announced Friday. We have stories coming out in local and national media outlets this week, so be on the lookout! #LastResortOK #teacherstrike #solidarity

Great conversation on the Rick Smith with teacher Larry Cagle about how we got here. If the school system isn't funded, schools fail. If schools fail, private/charter schools profit. The old adage holds - follow the money #LastResortOK #solidarity #teacherstrike #OklaEd x.com/RickSmithShow/…

We're excited that the nation is waking up to the necessity of funding education- not just in #Oklahoma but in #WestVirginia, #Arizona, and #Kentucky as well. Teachers, now is the time for our voices to be heard. #solidarity #LastResortOK #OklaEd #TeacherStrike #OklahomaTeachers x.com/scottheins/sta…

So proud of our kids. They seem to understand what's going on even more than our legislators! A big thank you to the students and parents for being so supportive in this process. Always remember, at the end of the day this is all about you. #OklaEd #LastResortOK #TulsaTeachers x.com/tulsaworld/sta…
