A1: Most important characteristic to get my phone will be the candidate who seeks input from the professionals regarding #oklaed; not the politicians. I can't stand it when elected officials want to "reform" us without talking to us

A3) recongnizing that the teacher shortage wasn’t created by one problem and can’t be answered with a single solution. Oklahoma needs to support its teachers financially and morally. We all want what’s best for our children and a few bucks helps, but more must be done #oklaed

Talking to educators I’m told to we must 1 Retain and 2 Get new education graduates. Those are accomplished by continuing to increase classroom funding and pay. But also listening to teachers and treating them with respect. I’m committed to continue on the new path #oklaed https://t.co/8UztLOxmhV

A4 You will not live forever! The younger generation is going to grow up; therefore, they need to be educated and trained to take over and lead our world. They are not receiving this education at home….Schools and Educators must be valued and supported. #oklaed https://t.co/p5UiuVY7nu

A6 – Flexibility at the secondary level. We are doing ICAPs in MS now, but there is little flexibility w/HS credits required for graduation to put Ss on true pathways. Career Tech classes should count for some of the required electives or additional core. #oklaed https://t.co/l8bZH0REbW

A7 – Don’t he shadow leaders. Being a public official is an honor and privilege, those that are in that position must work to build relationships. That relationship building should start before problems happen. #oklaed https://t.co/d6ywTBzsuD

Scott:

A4. Planning ahead takes commitment our kids are worth it. It will take additional funding to ease the teacher shortage and overcrowded classrooms. I’ll say it again…kids are our greatest resource! #OklaEd
