Every decision for education is a political decision.

When it comes to education, being involved in politics is vital not only for the Oklahoma Education Association, but also for teachers and support professionals.

Every decision made for education is a political decision. The Oklahoma Legislature decides salary and benefits for education employees, how many days a teacher will be in the classroom, how many hours a teacher is to spend in the classroom and how much professional development is necessary to keep certification. Local school boards determine working conditions and budget line items, and hires a superintendent that manages the district.

OEA is a founding member of The Oklahoma Education Coalition. The coalition is dedicated to leading the effort to create, improve and support quality public education for all students, teachers and staff.
