New and different ideas are needed to help Oklahoma City Public Schools students reach their educational potential, speakers said Thursday at the State of the Schools luncheon of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber.
“Too many of our children are simply not learning,” school board Chairman Angela Monson said. “Their quest to learn has simply been squashed. We know when our kids fail, we too fail.”
Ify Offor, vice president of new site development of Teach For America, told business and city leaders that “educational inequity is a problem that we can and must solve.” The Oklahoma City district is a candidate to join the Teach for America project, which recruits, trains and places top college graduates into underserved schools. Tulsa Public Schools was added to the program this year.
