People across the country are genuinely interested in Oklahoma’s early literacy law and whether it will deliver meaningful results. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss the law’s key mechanisms, implementation strategy, and prospects for success at the National Governors Association convening this past week.

Oklahoma's 2026 legislative session was an ambitious one for ed. policy. I recently spoke with ExcelinEd about the session's major bills and also released a summary statement highlighting key changes. @ExcelinEd

The choir and the Junior Leadership Corps at Salk Elementary School are impressive. Their Memorial Day Flag Retirement Ceremony serves as a meaningful reminder of the sacrifice and patriotism behind Memorial Day. Thank you to Mr. Kyle Gallien and the military-veteran teachers at Salk for making civics education and leadership development a priority for our young people. @TulsaSchools_sp

Michaela Ellis-Cannady is one of Oklahoma’s outstanding educators, making a lasting impact on 2nd grade students at Highland Park Elementary School in Stillwater.

Today I am thrilled to recognize Ms. Deanne Strothers of Harding Charter Preparatory High School for Teacher Appreciation Week. Ms. Strothers teaches advanced math courses with excellence, and she goes even further by starting her mornings at 5 a.m. to make sandwiches for students every day. Incredible!

Proud to sign four more education-focused bills for Oklahoma parents and students:

📚 HB 3705 – Increases the total credits available under the Parental Choice Tax Credit Program, expanding opportunities for parents to choose the best education for their kids.

🏫 HB 3151 – Raises the number of required school days from 166 to 173, contingent on increased funding, giving students more time in the classroom to learn and succeed.

🎓 HB 3315 – Launches a 90-hour bachelor’s degree pathway study, paving the way for three-year degrees that get students into the workforce faster.

🔔 HB 1276 – Codifies my executive order to ban student cell phone and personal electronic device use from bell to bell on public school campuses, helping keep kids focused on learning.

"Oklahomans do seem to be open to a pretty fair number of reforms that they at least feel could improve the system." — Secretary of Education and #Oklahoma Center for Education Policy faculty director @hamlind1 | #oklaed https://t.co/WyRzWWzwKs

State tests are underway across Oklahoma. While these assessments do not provide the full picture of all the great work happening in our schools, they do offer important information. Teachers, school leaders, and families, thank you for your work preparing students this year.

[Governor Kevin Stitt @GovStitt]

.@DrOzCMS challenge accepted- Oklahoma is all in on #NationalWalkingDay.

I challenged our MOHA council to get in on the action, and they’re stepping up. Just 20 minutes a day sharpens your mind and increases longevity.

Join me as we partner the American Heart Association to Make Oklahoma Healthy Again and encourage Oklahomans to take simple steps toward a healthier future- starting with a walk in the sun. #MOHA 🇺🇸

Today Gov. Stitt appointed Alan Armstrong to the US Senate. Coincidentally, Senator Armstrong is an OU grad. and it happened to be OU day at the Capitol.

[Daniel Hamlin @hamlind1]

I’m glad to be tasked with this review of education funding. This work needs to be routine, so that we are continuously working to identify areas for improvement.

[Governor Kevin Stitt @GovStitt]

Every dollar we invest in public education should be traceable and tied to student success. That’s why I signed an executive order to bring greater transparency to how education dollars are spent, giving parents and taxpayers a clear window into every Oklahoma classroom.

Making the American Dream achievable starts with a strong education. Oklahoma is committed to accountability and investing in our young people.

[Daniel Hamlin @hamlind1]

Great to visit Norman Public Schools today. I appreciated the opportunity to speak with the district's teachers about current education legislation. Thank you Supt. Migliorino for the invitation.

[Daniel Hamlin @hamlind1]

I appreciated the opportunity to discuss federal and state education policy with @SenatorLankford today. Grateful for his thoughtful engagement on education issues affecting Oklahoma.
