Today, I joined Sen Daniels and Rep Kerbs, along with students from across OK, to witness ⁦Governor Kevin Stitt⁩ sign SB 105, which will allow more families the opportunity to choose the best school for their child. Special thanks to the school choice champions who made this possible!

Claim: “Private schools aren’t accountable!” Reality: Private schools are more accountable than public schools because parents are able to vote with their feet and take their children elsewhere. Private schools must be more responsive to student needs. edchoice.org/research-libra…

Let's finish the job of getting phones out of school and let's keep going to roll back the phone-based childhood. Here's a great overview from the UK of what's happening. We're in this together.

I’m honored to receive the Distinguished Service Award from the State Regents. Education is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape Oklahoma’s future, and I’m grateful to play a role in that work. okhighered.org/2025/09/oklaho…

"Repeating the mistakes of the past won’t change this trajectory or prepare kids for the future. It’s time to break the loop that’s left so many students behind." ocpathink.org/post/independe…

The Sooners had a November to remember & finished top 10 making the playoffs, but Oklahoma is getting smoked in 3rd grade reading scores. If 49th was our reality in sports, there would be mayhem. Join the movement & bring that energy to education at okcompetes.com

More spending and more staff shouldn’t result in lower outcomes. Yet that is exactly what we are seeing in Oklahoma. Every year without progress is another cohort of students moving through a system that too often falls short of what they deserve. ocpathink.org/post/independe…

It is increasingly clear that the careless mass introduction of 1:1 devices (on each kid's desk) in the 2010s was, at best, a waste of billions that could have been spent on teachers. At worst: a major cause of declining ed outcomes.

The demand for Oklahoma’s Parental Choice Tax Credit program is now so high that the program’s $250 million cap threatens to shut out families next year. House Bill 3705 would raise the cap to keep up with demand. ocpathink.org/post/independe…

Under HB 3711, school districts would prominently disclose what share of their budgets goes to classroom instruction. The bill’s author says any district confident in its priorities should have no problem showing how much is actually spent on instruction. ocpathink.org/post/independe…

Prioritizing students over school systems should be our standard, not a reform. It's time Oklahoma stopped defending education system as is | Opinion oklahoman.com/story/opinion/… via @theoklahoman_
