Oklahoma No Longer First In Lack Of Public School Funding

Oklahoma is no longer number one for lack of public school funding in the nation. But we are number two, behind only Texas, according to a new report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Last year's teacher walkout led to the largest public education funding increase nationwide in 2018.

But Oklahoma's per-pupil spending is still 15 percent less than it was when the recession hit in 2008.
