Several Tulsa-area school boards voted Monday to let their districts attorneys challenge the State Board of Education s decision to give charter schools an equal share of state funding.
The state board voted 4–3 last month to settle a lawsuit with the Oklahoma Public Charter School Association claiming charter schools are due an equal share of state revenues. The board s resolution would let charter schools receive funding from state gross production, motor vehicle and rural electrification association tax collections, state school land earnings and county tax collections. Those revenues currently go to only traditional public schools.
Tulsa Public Schools joined the 2017 lawsuit as an intervenor, and the TPS Board voted Monday to let the district s attorneys file claims against the state board.
