Public Education
The Foundation of Our Future
Oklahoma’s public schools are the backbone of our communities and the key to our long-term success. Yet year after year, our educators and students are asked to do more with less—less funding, less respect, and fewer resources.
We believe every Oklahoma child deserves a world-class education—regardless of their ZIP code.
That’s why Oklahoma Democrats are committed to:
Fully funding public education so that schools are equipped, safe, and modern
Raising teacher pay to attract and retain high-quality educators
Reducing class sizes and increasing support staff to improve student outcomes
Opposing school voucher schemes that drain public dollars from local schools
Expanding access to early childhood education to set students up for lifelong success
Promoting inclusive curriculum that reflects the diverse history and future of our state
We stand with teachers, parents, and students—not political agendas. Public dollars should stay in public schools, and students should have every opportunity to thrive, no matter where they live.
Strong schools build strong communities. We’re ready to invest in the next generation—and the future of Oklahoma—by defending and uplifting public education at every level.
