While this bill is being sold as a broad parental-rights expansion, in reality itβs narrowly tailored toward IEP disputes and special-education enforcement.SB 1720 would expand parentsβ legal rights in public schools by adding protections under the Parentsβ Bill of Rights, establishing a formal complaint process, and creating a right to sue when those rights are violated β a major shift in empowering parents within the education system.
SB 1720 is much more about special education / IEP enforcement than broad, general parental rights. SB 1720 is less about general parental rights and more about IEP enforcement and special-education dispute resolution, despite its broader branding

The OKGOP platform states we believe in sunset laws, zero based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.
SB 1189 removes the fundβs real spending limitation and replaces it with an automatic multi-year payout. With no performance requirements, no need-based allocation, and no accountability, it functions as a blank check rather than a targeted safety investment.
SB1193: School funding; removing limitations on school district general fund carryover and penalties for exceeding limitations. Effective date. Emergency.

The OKGOP platform states we support sunset laws, zero-based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.
We support efforts to help students read at grade level, but SBβ―1338 gives the state too much control over local literacy programs and bypasses parental input. Funding should support local innovation and parent engagement, not force compliance with state-designed interventions.

The SDE has been given $7 BILLION DOLLARS since 2003 per their own admission and we are ranked 50th in academics? Where has all this money gone? No accountability. Where are the audits for this money and now they want more to do what they should have been doing already for 20+ years. This has become what looks like a giant money laundering scheme.
SB1778 uses literacy as an entry point to expand state control, standardize children into workforce pipelines, and reduce parental authority β itβs workforce development policy disguised as reading reform.
SB1778 follows the same policy architecture used nationally to connect early education to labor-force pipelines. Literacy is treated not as a family-directed educational goal, but as an input metric for long-term economic productivity.
This is consistent with the P-20 / cradle-to-career workforce model, where literacy is the first measurable labor input.
