School Choice
The greatest degree of local control remains a parent's ability to choose one school over another. Choice basically means options, and in the state of Oklahoma we have five options that allow families to attend their school of choice. They include charter schools, virtual charter schools, homeschools, and scholarship opportunities to attend private schools.
Office of Religious Liberty and Patriotism
The Office of Religious Liberty and Patriotism ensures that Oklahoma students and educators can freely exercise their constitutional rights to religious expression while promoting a deep understanding of America's founding principles. By protecting religious freedom, fostering pride in America, and supporting patriotic education, the office equips students and teachers to honor our nation's heritage and values.
