As the effort grew in the Tulsa suburbs, Central Oklahoma PLAC formed with parents from across the Oklahoma City metro including Norman to the south and Edmond in the north. From there, PLACs sprouted across the state and found traction during and following the Teacher Walk Out of 2018. Currently, at least fifteen unique PLAC organizations are active representing over 200,000 Oklahoma public school students and their parents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/18e664f9-487c-4fb4-8e4d-2f0404df868d/Screen+Shot+2021-12-21+at+11.37.04+AM.jpg WHO WE ARE - Our Relationships Local PLACs work with their school boards, parents, teachers, and elected officials to generate a dialogue about how to improve and protect public schools. Candidate events, legislative days, calls, emails, and texts help us keep in touch with our elected representatives and create connection for them with their constituents. Social media, advocacy training, and meetings over lunch or coffee allow PLAC members to raise awareness of issues or legislative proposals impacting public schools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/1037873d-0552-4009-b434-bf47d77c707b/Screen+Shot+2021-12-21+at+11.36.32+AM.jpg WHO WE ARE - Our Message Working together as a coordinated team through the Oklahoma PLAC, our message becomes stronger. Though individual school districts may have unique needs, all PLACs advocate for a high-quality, fully-funded public education system that equitably serves ALL children in our state. Media partners help us reach a broader audience as we work toward our goal of excellence in public schools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/c72824f4-b481-4bf8-b329-49ff51d22a6a/Screen+Shot+2021-12-21+at+1.28.25+AM.jpg WHO WE ARE - Our Work We gather and disseminate research and information about issues and legislative proposals impacting public schools through our statewide network of local PLACs. We grow the movement by supporting additional local school districts and newly forming PLAC organizations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/12772ea6-9074-4743-bece-6f7f5f335fa8/Screen+Shot+2021-12-21+at+1.29.29+AM.jpg WHO WE ARE - Our Beliefs We believe Oklahoma students deserve a public education system that is competitive regionally in teacher pay, teacher quality, per-pupil expenditures and class sizes in accordance with the Oklahoma Constitution's mandate of a state-funded system of public schools which are free and open to all students. We believe all schools receiving taxpayer funds should have the same levels of accountability and transparency. https://www.okplac.org/advocacy-tools daily 0.75 2022-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/1640112199959-U78WBE68ALN3JXM0LNAE/unsplash-image-zFSo6bnZJTw.jpg ADVOCACY TOOLS - ADVOCACY TOOLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/fe92422b-5cd4-4f28-b370-a485f0ebf449/PLAC+BUTTONS+5.jpg ADVOCACY TOOLS - Make it stand out Follow bills as they work their way through committees and votes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/5060f544-b788-4aef-bd6b-56f43a347758/PLAC+BUTTONS+52.jpg ADVOCACY TOOLS - Make it stand out Find your State Senator, Representative, or Congressional Delegate based on your address https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/4486c108-4f0b-44f8-be84-0e5e4962add1/PLAC+BUTTONS+53.jpg ADVOCACY TOOLS - Make it stand out Stay up to date with the latest news with our Advocacy Alerts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bfb85311492018fbe44c81/2ef425ee-4ed6-4bb0-a12c-760532b8aab2/PLAC+BUTTONS+54.jpg ADVOCACY TOOLS - Make it stand out Voting is a critical component of advocacy.
