Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Morgan
Comments on Teacher Pay
“Governor Henry is to
be commended for his commitment to keeping the promise we made
to Oklahoma teachers to raise their pay to the regional average.”
“Senate Democrats have always supported better pay for our
teachers because we fundamentally understand greater opportunities
for all Oklahomans begin with smart and bold investments in education.
“A state budget, just like a household budget, is a direct
reflection of our priorities and what we value the most. Investments
in education like Governor Henry proposed today send a strong
message to the business community, to the hard-working people
of our state and to the entire nation that we are committed to
improving our public schools so Oklahoma children can compete
in today’s growing global economy.”
