Former City Councilor Jayme Fowler, from a multi-generational family of life-long educators, argues against the upcoming April 7th Tulsa Public Schools (TPS) bond package, which seeks $609 million in Tulsa Taxes. Fowler’s passionate plea is for voters to take this opportunity to get education right in Tulsa.
He asserts that the propositions fail to address deep-seated systemic issues, including poor academic outcomes, administrative bloat, underutilized facilities, and a destructive busing policy. This bond package perpetuates a failing status quo.
Fowler advocates rejecting the bond packages in total to compel TPS leadership and the community to publicly and collaboratively develop a comprehensive reform plan focused on rationalizing schools, revitalizing neighborhood schools, and improving educational fundamentals.
