TULSA, Okla. â As Tulsa Public Schools prepare to welcome students back to in-person learning on Tuesday, Feb. 23, the district is updating its meal service plan.
The district said it will continue to provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for all Tulsa children 18 and under. We know that food instability continues to be a challenge for families throughout Tulsa, so we are really pleased to be able to continue to provide meal service to all Tulsa children ages 18 and under, said Superintendent Deborah A. Gist. I encourage every Tulsa family who needs it to take advantage of our meals program; we are here to serve every child in the city.
Tulsa Classroom Teachers Union Pushes For Work-From-Home Option
Working from the classroom or home should be an option for teachers, according to the Tulsa Classroom Teachers Union.
TPS leaders said their teachers work the best from their classrooms, even though those classrooms are empty right now because students are learning from home. The teacher s union said some teachers prefer to choose.
Shawna Mott-Wright is the President of Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association and said with COVID-19 numbers rising, both in the district and across the state, many teachers said they want to work from home. If I can give them my best from my home, why then do you cause unnecessary anxiety by forcing me to teach from somewhere else? Mott-Wright said.
