Episode Details

Tulsa Public Schools is off to a strong start this academic year, with student performance climbing for the third straight year—especially in fifth-grade science, up over eight percent—and chronic absenteeism dropping five to six percent thanks to family-school teamwork. The district is ramping up support for struggling learners and offering advanced opportunities for high achievers. Ahead of Oklahoma’s new third-grade reading law in 2027, TPS is already piloting curricula and communication strategies. They’ve also rolled out their own cell phone policies ahead of state law, building positive outcomes through strong school-community relationships. Despite looming budget cuts totaling $12 million, TPS aims to protect educational quality while implementing new state mandates like daily 40-minute recess, plus expanding career academies and upgrading facilities.
