ROPE Original Research
December 17, 2009 by admin
Contact Julie McKenzie for information on ROPE's original research and writing: julie@RestoreOkPublicEducation.com
Because of the research background of its President and Vice-President, ROPE attempts to do as much original research and writing as absolutely possible. Our board and our members are very concerned about the state of public education today - specifically that of Oklahoma's public education.
If you have a topic you would like to see ROPE tackle, please email Julie and give her your position and some background on the issue.
We have developed two position papers on SQ744 and one on US History curricula in Oklahoma public schools.
We continue to look for opportunities to provide Oklahoman's with clear and precise information on issues surrounding Oklahoma public education and we value your input.
Thank you,
ROPE
