Episode 137 -- Education First

The Fried Okra team convenes to discuss the $625 million education budget deal announced last Tuesday after weeks of deliberations between the House and Senate. The deal includes a $3,000 - $6,000 pay raise for certified educators depending on years of service and three weeks of maternity leave. Ellen, Katherine, and Ivy react to the historic investment, why it's a great step in making public education a priority in Oklahoma, and the need for support professionals to receive a raise from this funding.
