Oklahoma: P-20 Council Task Force

S.B. 206 signed by Governor Fallin earlier this month creates a 9-member P-20 Council Task Force to explore the "feasibility, value and structure" of a P-20 council or partnership in Oklahoma. The task force is charged with reporting its findings, including legislative recommendations to the governor and house and senate leadership by December 31, 2011.

It will be interesting to see what the task force determines. In recent years, Oklahoma has taken steps forward on P-20 issues--such as becoming one of the first states to adopt graduation requirements aligned with postsecondary admissions requirements, and establishing the P-20 Data Coordinating Council. What will be next for P-20 alignment in Oklahoma?
