OKLAHOMA CITY â Public school proponents and lawmakers are heralding the stateâs budget agreement that would see a record high $3.2 billion investment in public schools and ensure class size reductions in kindergarten and first grade.
House Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, said his caucus was focused on increasing public school funding by $171.8 million â or 6% â to allow lawmakers to comply with a provision of House Bill 1017, the stateâs landmark Education Reform Act passed in 1990. It mandates the smaller classroom sizes as long as itâs properly funded.
This morning, New Bedford School Committee member John Oliveira joined Brian Thomas on WBSM’s
Chris McCarthy Show to discuss Monday night’s upcoming meeting. The conversation focused mostly on school choice, and what it means if the committee approves the program for another year in New Bedford schools.
At the start of the discussion, Thomas casually asked Oliveira, who is in year three of his four-year term, if he planned to run again for school committee.
“I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to complete another term,” Oliveira responded, before dropping some news as to what his next political move may be. “There’s a couple of legislators that have bullseyes on their backs, Representative (Antonio) Cabral and Senator (Mark) Montigny, that need to be taken down.”
