Attendance exceeds 1,000 at Hofmeister town halls on education

OKLAHOMA CITY (Dec. 14, 2016) – More than 1,000 parents, teachers and community leaders attended a series of education town halls hosted by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister. She traveled to seven sites across the state to gather feedback from stakeholders to develop strategies for improving public education.

The first town hall took place Oct. 18in Duncan. Hofmeister also visited Ada, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Enid and Yukon before concluding the town hall series Dec. 12 in Muskogee. The Oklahoma State Department of Education is using the collected feedback to develop a state plan under the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). That measure reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and replaces the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. ESSA restores greater flexibility about federal education policy to states and districts. 

The primary concerns Hofmeister heard during the town halls were funding challenges parents say are impacting class sizes, the effectiveness of teachers and variety of course offerings. Participants said the success of schools depends on family and community involvement, strong leadership, safety, engaged children who want to be in school and rich preparation for college and career. When asked what traits define a well-rounded education, participants cited fine arts, relevant wrap-around services and out-of-school experiences.
