$10,000 - NOTHING LESS

First I want to say how much we appreciate the 38K+ supporters that have signed this petition. We are drafting legislation that will be presented to Gov. Fallin that will outline our expectation of $10,000 year 1 as opposed to OEA's unilateral plan to spread it over 3 years. A $10,000 raise is needed immediately. Without this immediate increase in compensation, educators in the state of Oklahoma will continue to change careers, leave for other states and/or retire earlier than planned. We need additional support, we ask, no, we beg you, share this petition. We need as many signatures from Oklahoman's as possible. Our draft legislation is almost complete but without a high volume of signatures, we fear our voice will not be loud enough. Begging for Education ~Teresa Danks
