The National Education Association sanctions Oklahoma for alleged substandard schools and warns teachers from out of state not to take positions there. The move targets pay, facilities, and textbooks and could push hundreds of Oklahoma teachers to seek work elsewhere before next fall. An NEA source estimates 10 percent or more of the 22,000 teachers may leave, with relocation centers planned to aid the exodus. The commission’s report prompted the action, and the NEA aims to publicize the situation to officials and the public.
