Here's what to say:

I'm calling about Oklahoma's education funding crisis and the push to lift the voucher cap.
Oklahoma ranks last in the nation in K-12 quality. We spend $11,349 per student, roughly a billion dollars below the regional average.
The Parental Choice Tax Credit sent $248.5 million to private school families. 72 percent earned over $75,000. Only 10 percent were previously in public school.
I'm asking my representative to oppose lifting the voucher cap until public school funding reaches the regional average of $14,975 per student.

50th Oklahoma's national ranking in K-12 school quality, safety, funding, and outcomes

$248.5 million Distributed through Oklahoma's Parental Choice Tax Credit to private school students

72% Voucher recipients with household incomes of $75,000 or higher

$3,626 Per-student spending gap between Oklahoma and the regional average

Oklahoma ranks dead last in K-12 school quality, safety, funding, and student outcomes. The state spends $11,349 per student, roughly $1 billion short of the regional average of $14,975. Only Idaho and Utah spend less. Teachers earn $4,100 less than the regional average.

During the same period, Oklahoma's Parental Choice Tax Credit distributed $248.5 million to 39,229 private school students. The Oklahoma Policy Institute found that 72 percent of recipient families earned $75,000 or more. Only 10.4 percent of voucher recipients were previously enrolled in public schools. Governor Stitt now wants to remove the $250 million cap entirely.

This is not a school choice program. It is a subsidy for families who already chose private education, paid for while public schools sit a billion dollars below the regional floor. Write your Oklahoma state legislators and demand the voucher cap stays until public school per-pupil spending reaches regional parity.
