OSDE Test Scores VS Achievement Scores - ROPE Report Short

With our V1SUT blogger, Michael and Jenni went over the Oklahoma State Department of Education proficiency and achievement data through the school Report Card. Though we've had Reed Downey on the program previously to tell us how badly Oklahoma students are performing on Achievement data, it's even worse when we compare Achievement data with Assessment (testing) scores. Suffice it to say that the Oklahoma legislature should not give public schools in Oklahoma one more thin dime until they can actually show that they are EDUCATING Oklahoma students. This is truly tragic.

ROPE Report Short; V1SUT - Oklahoma Awarity System For Reporting Public School Predators

Awarity is a reporting system - originally announced as a way to report bullying in Oklahoma Public Schools - launched by the Oklahoma State Department of Education in 2022. Anyone can report an incident via the system and can do so anonymously if they believe their safety or job is at stake. 

V1SUT suggests that anyone who is aware of a predatory relationship between school personnel and a student, report that situation through the Awarity system in order to stimulate an investigation by the OSDE. 

Please, report any incidents of inappropriate relationships between school personnel and students IMMEDIATELY to the Principal and Superintendent of the school AND via the Awarity system as well.

Masking For Money: How Oklahoma Public Schools Want To Subvert State And Local Authority For Federal Funds

Friday, August 27 (2021), I was sent a screen shot of a document from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) that included masking 'guidance' which contradicted Oklahoma's SB658 (the bill to allow freedom of choice regarding student masking in all Oklahoma schools but private k-12) and was told that the OSDH had issued new/current (8/21) masking/quarantine guidelines to schools.
