Moms For Liberty Oklahoma Awaiting review of version 7

HB 4427 assumes a problem that doesn’t exist and punishes districts for adapting to reality. When shortages exist, flexibility is common sense — restricting help only makes things worse. Of course, if a certified teacher is available, districts will use one. No school is choosing adjuncts instead of certified teachers — they’re using them because certified teachers aren’t available.
