I'm hopeful that with as much money that was granted to the school districts, we don't run into that. They need to be pinching every single penny they can and if anything, need to come up with surplus at the end of it all.
It's high time Tulsa and it's surrounding school districts take care of their systems. Tulsa lacks quality schools and it shows when companies move from Tulsa to other cities, and we rarely see the reverse. This is a big problem for the city's growth and has to change sooner rather than later if Tulsa and this state is to grow.
This is wonderful investment into the local school systems if we look at just the dollar amount. They better make everything of it.
And quite frankly, once these projects are all said and done, I don't want to hear anymore about how our school districts lack the resources. Swake's math is correct. Broken Arrow P.S. alone have voted on half a BILLION in this bond and the previous one. Let's make sure we make it all count.
