Educators Seek Lawmakers' Seats with the Blessing of the Tulsa Teachers' Union

Tulsa Public Schools

The hope is a ‘teacher caucus’ will take over the state legislature to halt the bleeding of education funding that’s occurred the past several years. Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association Vice-President Shawna Mott-Wright believes people are fed up with what’s been happening at the capitol…and she hopes getting more educators and friends of education into the legislature will make a difference.

At least two Tulsa public school teachers and some area advocates for education are among the nearly 30 members of the ‘teacher caucus’ filing for office.
