Oklahoma schools continue to face a budget crunch, with the numbers growing.

After facing big cuts in the spring, Tulsa Public Schools has lost another $7.4-million since July. Union Schools will make do with about $3-million less. Jenks lost just over $2-million. And Broken Arrow Schools lost more than $5-million all in the past six months.

In Sand Springs, the school board voted Monday night to cancel school on February 12th to show support for a teacher rally at the state capitol to address budget concerns.
