Communicating with our members is a top priority and the OEA has a variety of methods to help keep members informed on issues that affect classrooms, teachers, support professionals and students.
The OEA Legislative Directory was created to serve as a guide for members to browse a list of Oklahoma legislators, their districts, their contact information and to stay updated on key education issues during legislative session. In addition to basic information, this guide contains the stances of the OEA Fund for Children and Public Education (FCPE) on all current Oklahoma education issues and each legislator’s recommendation status. All legislators previously recommended by the OEA FCPE are indicated on this guide. The OEA FCPE is a member driven political action committee that runs on voluntary donations from OEA members. Click here to learn more about the FCPE.
This “Issues” tab of this guide is frequently updated throughout the legislative session to reflect the activities and actions of lawmakers on education policy.

If you have any questions regarding this guide or any number of legislative issues through session, please feel free to contact the OEA Legislative and Political Organizing team at 405.523.4310.

Following the 2024 legislative session we’ve created a 2024 Legislative wrap up. You can download that here.
The Education Focus
The award-winning OEA Education Focus is the official magazine of the Oklahoma Education Association. Published quarterly, The Focus covers events that affect our members and public education, personality features about members, and Association programs at the local, state and national level.
Electronic Issues Allow You to Skip the Hard Copy
OEA members have the option to read the Education Focus via our website and not receive the magazine through the regular mail. Members who “opt out” of the hard copy will receive an email highlighting stories from the current issue and a link to the OEA website where they can review a PDF version online. Online opt out registration.
The Education Edge
The OEA Education Edge is a weekly e-newsletter that covers regional news and late-breaking news, as well as information on OEA/NEA programs and services. It also includes information on programs and opportunities from organizations not affiliated with OEA that members may find useful.
Legislative Updates & Alerts
The OEA Legislative Update/Alert is an e-newsletter emailed only to member home email addresses, according to OEA Policy. Published weekly throughout the year (or more often as needed), this electronic publication covers the latest legislative and political campaign news relevant to education and OEA members. If you are not receiving the Legislative Updates and Alerts, email Paige Goad, Communications/LPO Center assistant, and give them your name, school district and home email address.
