OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Michelle McCane, D-Tulsa, hosted a public forum at the Oklahoma State Capitol to allow Oklahomans to voice their opinions and concerns regarding public education in Oklahoma.
The forum occurred after the Oklahoma State Department of Education abruptly canceled their monthly meeting and featured members of the public who would have otherwise made public comments at the meeting.
“I am so thrilled at the turn out of Oklahomans who came to the capitol to voice their thoughts and concerns with lawmakers on public education in Oklahoma,” said McCane. “I want to thank everyone who showed up and your effort to go out of your way to advocate for Oklahoma children does not go unnoticed. I urge Oklahomans to continue this conversation and to feel free to contact my office with any other questions or concerns on how to provide solutions to the problems taking place within our public education system. When Oklahomans bring their voices to the capitol, lawmakers can better represent them, and we can all do better when it comes to making positive change for a brighter future for public education in Oklahoma.”
McCane will share comments and concerns brought up during the forum with every sitting member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the Oklahoma Senate to promote collaboration on solutions and strategies to improve Oklahoma Public Education.
