Advance Oklahoma's Kids Mission
We promote equity in funding and school discipline so that economic background, disability, race, ethnicity, regional location, gender identity and sexual orientation, immigration status, and language are not barriers to educational opportunity.
Education Equity
Education equity envisions a future where all students have an equal chance to excel, where the circumstances of one's birth do not dictate the opportunities they can access. By leveling the playing field and providing resources and support to those who need it most, we foster a society that values talent, innovation, and diversity – a society where success is based on merit, not privilege.
Discipline Equity
In the realm of education, discipline equity is a vital principle that upholds fairness, respect, and the holistic development of students. It centers on the idea that all students, regardless of their background, should be subject to disciplinary measures that are just, consistent, and conducive to their growth. By embracing discipline equity, we not only promote a safe and nurturing learning environment but also empower students to become responsible citizens and effective contributors to society.
Equity in Outcomes
Ensuring all kids in Oklahoma’s public schools get what they need, including counselors, disability services, and safe schools. We must break the school-to-prison pipeline.
Oklahoma must adequately fund and equip our public schools and teachers with the resources necessary for success. Our kids are worth the investment.
