"A new bill has been filed that could potentially pull state funding from virtual charter schools. If passed, House Bill 35-51 would not allow virtual schools to receive state funding if they do not meet all requirements of an alternative school." bit.ly/3SRY9xH

A huge thank you to our amazing families who came to OKC for the 2024 Oklahoma Capitol Day last Wednesday! Check out some highlights from the day below! #ITrustParents

"HB 3551 strips funding for #alted students who have chosen to attend virtual #charterschools. What is also striking is the bill only targets virtual #charterschool students, not those in traditional schools. It is a clear case of unequal treatment." bit.ly/3TaUigu

Oklahoma Parents for School Options released the following statement regarding the House Common Education Committee’s passage of House Bill 3551 which would eliminate online alt ed programs. Read the statement here: bit.ly/3V2wyMX

HB 3551 will jeopardize the educational futures of OK students like Erika's son: "He just was terrified to leave the house. Getting him to go to school was a real stretch... Before we discovered this program, he was talking about dropping out of school." bit.ly/3uRzEsr

HB 3551 would force students back into unsafe learning environments -- teen parents, students with medical conditions or students recovering from addiction. No matter the circumstance...EVERY child deserves a safe school that fits their needs. bit.ly/430ENep

We call on our elected officials to think about the needs of alternative education students. Please protect ALL educational options, including full-time online #AltEd programs, by rejecting HB 3551! #ITrustParents #OnlineLearning #SchoolChoice bit.ly/3ImoQpo
