“We’ll examine how a statewide advisory and accountability board could help establish a more coordinated framework, identify systemic challenges, strengthen family engagement, and make recommendations for improvements in policy, funding, and oversight.”
(Oklahoma State Senate) “In this study, we will examine next steps. The hope is that by establishing an accountability board we can ensure law enforcement has the resources and support to do all they can to see these cases are resolved and justice is served.”
(Oklahoma State Senate) “During her time in the legislature, Oklahoma has begun to restore decades of budget cuts to public education. However, Oklahoma consistently falls in the bottom 10 states for funding public education. As a former educator and mother of three, Carri has seen how budget cuts in the past impact students first hand. Overcrowded classrooms coupled with a devastating teacher shortage, threaten the academic potential for all of our children.”
