Our next stop in the People's Hearing Series is Miami, OK at the Miami Public Library on Tuesday, November 19th from 5-7 PM. We have invited State Department of Education board members, each of whom is an appointee of Kevin Stitt and not accountable or in touch with our communities, to attend a community listening session so they can hear directly from you about your concerns.
This session is open to all; students, teachers, parents, and concerned community members. We understand that the regular monthly State Board of Education meetings being held in OKC during a workday are not accessible to many and the fact that they can only allow for ten speakers, makes it even harder for our voices to be heard. Even more, Oklahomans outside of OKC have less access to the physical meeting and meeting livestream.
The People's Hearing is an opportunity to share your concerns, joys, and hopes for public schools in Oklahoma in and where you live and grow. We will also have space to brainstorm how our community can build power to enact change for the better for all Oklahomans. Come out and let the board members know how they can better serve you and our community!
Please contact us at info@freedomoklahoma.org if you have planned a speech for the event or if you have any questions or concerns. Seating is limited, so register now! Light dinner will be provided. We will do our best to accommodate dietary needs.
