State leaders say debts will chew up most new revenue

By Janelle Stecklein/ CNHI State Reporter Dec 19, 2020 Dec 19, 2020 OKLAHOMA CITY — Though lawmakers learned they might have an additional $631.2 million to spend when they convene next year, existing debts will likely eat through much of that windfall. State Rep. Kevin Wallace, R-Wellston, who chairs the House’s appropriations committee, said while the early budget outlook appears better than expected with about 8% more to spend, “we’re going to have additional obligations above and beyond what we appropriated last year.” The Legislature won’t officially know how much it has to spend until the board reconvenes in February to finalize the numbers, he said.

Oklahoma school report cards suspended, student tests go on

Oklahoma school report cards suspended, student tests go on December 18, 2020 GMT OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The Oklahoma State Board of Education has suspended the state’s school report cards, but will continue with year-end testing of students. The board voted Thursday to suspend the school report cards because of what state school Superintendent Joy Hofmeister said is significant disruptions in instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The reality of 2020 impedes our ability to provide the public with information that can be used to compare school’s progress year over year,” Hofmeister said in a statement. Students, meanwhile, will still take federally required tests during the spring that include English language arts, math and science for grades 3-8. The ACT or SAT will also be given to to high school juniors.
