By ANDREA EGER World Staff Writer
The Tulsa school board voted Monday to cancel classes on March 31st to allow and encourage teachers, parents and students to attend a rally for increased state funding for public schools at the Oklahoma Capitol.
Outgoing board member Lois Jacobs, who represents the Memorial High School feeder pattern, cast the lone “no” vote.
Board members Lana Turner-Addison and Gary Percefull said they would be attending the rally with teachers and parents from their election districts.
“I am supportive of us taking that extra day, and I will be joining others at the Capitol as we support more funding for our schools,” Turner-Addison said.
