OKCMAR strongly believes that schools are a key factor for economic growth and housing development. Poor academic outcomes in Oklahoma City public schools have contributed to major challenges with housing development and sales in certain areas of the city. This bond is designed to address those challenges and OKCMAR has joined other local entities in the Invest in Our Future coalition to help pass the bond.
OKCMAR Government Affairs Chair Glen Cosper said, “This bond will impact every OKCPS student and has the potential to be transformational for both OKCPS and Oklahoma City.”
Passing the bond will raise $955 million
- More than 400 projects across the district will be funded
- Over 33,000 students from 62 schools will benefit
The bond must get 60% of the votes on election day to make this a reality. “This is probably one of the most important decisions that we will make to help continue improving the quality of OKCPS schools,” said Cosper.
