Does this mean the Covid Plandemic has been around a long time?

Bond funding at Tulsa Public Schools supports much more than building expenses and textbooks - it supports everything from fine arts to fences, from books to basketballs, and from telephones to tires. Funding from the 2015 bond, for example, ensured that every Tulsa student had a Chromebook or laptop to use at home during the pandemic closures and has helped us to safely reopen schools with improved air filtration and ventilation systems.

No, it's simply stating that funding from the 2015 bond bought items that helped the schools get through this terrible, terrible pandemic.

The ability to produce educated, successful students in Tulsa hasn't been affected in the least by this epic tragedy. Tulsa schools are as good at what they do as they were a few years ago.

Which is to say, "Not very"?

That's so judgmental. Tulsa has some of the best future service industry employees anywhere. Loads of bilingual classes, and a rich, diverse student body. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want their kids in TPS.

My wife and I both worked up there for a few years. We had originally thought about moving up there rather than commuting. After talking to coworkers at both of our jobs, it became obvious that the trend was to either live 30min outside Tulsa for the schools or pay for private school. We commuted for 3 years until we found jobs back in OKC.

I know a lot of people that love living in Tulsa and would never consider leaving. I really enjoy going up there for a weekend of activities here and there. I really dont think I could be happy living up there. The pace just feels a lot slower and they are far more "woke" than most areas around OKC.

Also, I read that to mean they actually did some forward planning and budgeting of the funds received in 2015 so they had an emergency reserve to handle unknowns like distance learning for several months at a time. I wish the state of Oklahoma shared that skill.

I wouldn't. You can think whatever you want. My answer was a little tongue-in-cheek, but to praise TPS like they're the be-all and end-all is laughable.

I'm joking. I went to school in Tulsa back when there were still decent schools, but the tide was turning fast by the time I graduated. When my wife and I were house shopping we intentionally bought a house in an independent school district, not in Tulsa. We've spent a fortune commuting for the last 25 years, but it's worth it.
