This year, I’ve requested a bill that will broaden the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program (OHLAP), better known as Oklahoma’s Promise, to include any child of an Oklahoma certified teacher that has taught at least 10 years and is a current fulltime employee at the time their child applies. The legislation will be eligible to be considered once session starts, Feb. 5.
