Such a shame that OSDE chose to omit the hard work from students in Advanced Placement courses. In fact, this decision denied the hard work from 75% of my high school students. And the rationale provided is a postal issue. I wonder why 48 other states didn’t have the same issue

The traditional mall food court, a place we all have a choice of what is our next meal. How beautiful would it be if every student in every community across Oklahoma had a choice regarding their education. #schoolchoiceadvocate

@gohogsgirl @GovStitt The study was showing results pre-Covid.

@StefanickSteven @GovStitt Okay fine - how about that #6 ranking is 4 years old. Don’t play.

Great news! Oklahoma charter schools rank #6 in the nation for student success. We’re proving that when students have choices in their education, they thrive. #TopTen oklahomavoice.com/2023/11/15/okl…

@dayarts1 @GovStitt I bet my charter schools serve a more diverse population than you.

@gohogsgirl @GovStitt Incorrect. Testing requirements are exactly the same.

@GovStitt This is such a fake claim. They don’t test the same way public schools do.

@PeperWard @GovStitt OK Charter vs. charters in USA

@GovStitt …when compared to what? You’re not being fully honest here.

@remigibbs @GovStitt Sure. Just to name a few for you. Harding Charter Preparatory High School, Harding Fine Arts, Santa Fe South, Dove Science Academy, Tulsa Honor Academy, KIPP OKC, John Rex, Western Gateway, Independence

@GovStitt Please post a list of those charter schools.

@princesssooner @GovStitt Charter schools are public schools.

@GovStitt Charter Schools or: schools that lower ses students cannot afford?

@sjhbrooklyn @GovStitt If you read the study, it excludes virtual charter schools.

@GovStitt Did you factor in the failing grade "earned" by Epic?

@afugate @Mr_Mojo_Risin0 OSSM and Classen SAS that are magnet schools, schools that select students based on academic performance. Booker T I give a point to you.

@StefanickSteven @Mr_Mojo_Risin0 No doubt there are excellent charter schools, like Harding. There are also great public schools like OSSM, Classen, and Booker T.

The good Superintendent fails to mention this comparison is versus other charter schools and not against public schools as a whole…

@Mr_Mojo_Risin0 @afugate If you read the data information, this study shows virtual schools were excluded. Good try though!

@afugate Hmm wonder how the most funded charter in state history performed against our "failing public schools"...

@afugate @CbrewsterOKC You are correct. It is comparing other charter schools in each state. However, instead of continuing to compare, why don’t you celebrate the work charters are doing in Oklahoma? Also - this report is excluding virtual charter schools.

@CbrewsterOKC Thank you. This is the report. It says Oklahoma ranks 6th out of the 35 states plus DC referenced for charter school achievement. Did I misread this? educationnext.org/nations-charte…

@CbrewsterOKC @TheOklahoman_ I’m excited to have other options in NE OKC, other than our charter! #SchoolChoice

I am excited about these schools that will soon be options for learners in NE OKC! I know some of the school founders personally and these are exceptionally capable professionals who bring excellence to their work. #oklaed oklahoman.com/story/news/202… via @theoklahoman_

Individuals that dwell in the past never move into the future.

School accountability towards academic success is critical. But, the accountability piece involves all stakeholders: students, teachers and staff, administration, families, and community partners.

Charter Schools are public schools. Charter Schools are public schools. Charter Schools are public schools. Charter Schools are public schools. Charter Schools are public schools. Charter Schools are public schools. Charter Schools are public schools.

@afugate Redbud funds is more than just buildings - the funding formula as you are quite aware is not equitable as there are hundreds of districts unable to bond for buildings. Without buildings, you have no school.

🤦‍♂️ Redbud funds are used to build buildings. 🤷‍♂️ The state funding formula sends money to classrooms. 👍

@RLynneRutledge Haha, appreciate it.

Yo, @StefanickSteven. That was epic. Word.

@waldron4ok Traditional public schools in Oklahoma have shown a pattern of failure for over 100 years. Charters schools have shown a growth in success in 25 years.

Hunt Institute Conference round two: school choice discussion. Andrea Castaneda of TPS opens with a call for accessible, accountable and well-funded schools for all. She says we have a responsibility to get this right. “That’s the promise we make to our families.” /1
