Tulsa Public Schools Launches New Effort To Support Struggling Students
Tulsa Public Schools announced a new initiative to help struggling students catch up on their coursework and in extracurricular after school projects as well.
Tulsa Public Schools is launching a comprehensive set of supports for students, in hopes of recouping some of the educational losses of the last year when students were in distance learning because of the pandemic.
The district is expanding connections and financial support for the many nonprofit agencies, like Reading Partners, that work directly with students. The Executive Director of Global Gardens, MaryAnn Donahue, said her leaders are eager to reconnect with students.

We are not going to flinch away from that, because this is our history and we are here to address it, said Gist, who noted that she attended TPS herself and did not learn about the massacre until later in life while working in Florida.
