What a great week of productive meetings- thank you to all who attended!  Wednesday evening was our event with Secretary of Education, Phyllis Hudecki.  Sec. Hudecki listened to comments, answered questions, and committed to sharing our message with Governor Fallin.  We very much appreciate her willingness to listen.  Senator Brian Crain, and Representatives Jeannie McDaniel, Glen Mulready, and Pam Peterson were also in attendance and we thank them.  The topics ranged from concerns regarding EOI’s as an indicator of college readiness, lack of confidence in A-F letter grades, additional funding concerns after the passage of SQ 758 and 766, as well as a desire for more trust in the local education process of students, parents, teachers, school boards and districts working together.  Perfectly closing the evening, Sand Springs student Aileen Polanski shared her very important student perspective.  TW article here

In addition to the comments we had time to hear, many people submitted questions on post-it notes which have been summarized by topic.  You can review those comments here, and they have been forwarded to Secretary Hudecki for her review.  I would encourage you to let Governor Fallin know we appreciated the productive time sharing feedback with her Secretary of Education.  Contact Gov.
