SQ 744 FACT OF THE WEEK

The Numbers Game

The OEA website for SQ744 has changed the numbers utilized for their "per pupil
spending". Their original figures showed a difference in Oklahoma spending on
common education students and the regional average at $1,463 per student....which
meant common education would receive $850 million more per year in funding.
Now...........their website says the difference spent is $1,627 per student, which means
they would get an increase of $1.032 billion per year.
An increase of over one billion a year................coming from higher taxes --OR-- that
much cut from every other agency in the state................WOW!
