Petition for state education funding filed

Wed, Aug 6 2008

Leading public education support groups including the Oklahoma Education Association filed a petition Wednesday with the state to put to a vote of the people a requirement that Oklahoma’s students are funded at the average of the seven-state regional level.

Chuck Pack, a teacher at Tahlequah High School, said he is spending about $600 a school year so that his math students have adequate supplies.
