Privett Outlines Oklahoma Education Priorities in Legislature
Oklahoma House Speaker Rex Privett opened the legislature priorities with teacher retirement boosts and education funding. He cited a $400 across the board raise for teachers costing $11.3 million of an estimated $14 to $16 million in extra funds, and said higher education mental health and transportation must come from existing money. Privett warned of a tight budget and noted a December Equalization Board decision will set official figures. He called for raising teacher retirement from 126 percent to 1.2 percent of average salary, a cost he said would exceed $1 million. He also emphasized needs in special education guidance programs and the expansion of vocational technical education, with potential federal regulation changes affecting funding. Kindergarten may become compulsory within two years, and per-child textbook spending aims to reach the national average.
