The fact that Lawton has 82 new-first year teachers is a testament to the training/mentoring provided and the value placed on education by LPS @LawtonSup, pay scales/bonuses/teacher supplies #oklaed#WeAreLPS
A9) Lawton has not filled all our vacancies. Lawton values Ts and provides the BEST New Teacher training/mentoring anywhere @MrsHime. Lawton pays 1st year teachers over $40K, has provided a retention bonus of $500 and will provide a $2000 bonus at Christmas. #oklaed#WeAreLPS
A5) EASY answer. I’m concerned #oklaed Ts, PS, and community won’t come out and vote on Aug 23rd. I’m voting for @SuptGrace bc I believe she is the only candidate in the race with the experience we need.
Great to join everyone —and wow—such a great student panel. The energy in the auditorium was electric! Thank you to everyone at @LawtonPS for all you’re doing to connect w/students. #OklaEd#studentvoices
A4) Ts are passionate about the future, Ts sacrifice daily to teach Ss to be successful today & in the future. Ts prepare Ss for jobs that don't exist yet! Ts are underappreciated and underpaid. Lawton values Ts and that is evident in our pay scale and bonuses! #oklaed#WeAreLPS
A3) I look forward to Ts and Ss being successful in classrooms across LPS. I am excited to see Mac HS & the Albert Johnson PD Center reopening with fresh new looks! #oklaed#WeAreLPS
A1) Lawton: New Teachers started Aug 1, It was great to have all certified staffin one place Aug 3. Students start Aug 10. My focus is ensuring admin have budgets that allow them to meet the needs of our T's as those Ts meet the needs of our Ss. #oklaed#WeAreLPS
A9) OK public schools are doing incredible things for our S's! Most are so busy educating S's and taking care of S's needs, that they don't take time to publicize the great successes. If we did, there would be no doubt; #oklaed public schools are the obvious choice! #wearelps
A7: Considering the current people in charge are now gonna cost our state to have to give back over half a million dollars, I can’t imagine what else could be more pressing considering our pressing. #oklaed
#OKLAED Teachers need to vote. Some Politicians do not respect teachers because of low voter turnout. Please vote on August 23rd. Hopefully you are informed
