Senate approves School Security Act
By Staff Report   
Thursday, 15 May 2008
ImageThe state senate on Wednesday approved a comprehensive measure intended to make Oklahoma schools safer.  Senate Bill 1941, the Oklahoma School Security Act, includes numerous provisions to secure school facilities, reduce school violence and bullying and involve school administrators in making their schools safer places for students and staff.

Sen. Todd Lamb, author of the bill, said it was imperative that the Legislature take action to reduce the frequency of violent crime and bullying in schools.

“Passage of this bill is an important first step toward making our schools safer,” said Lamb, R-Edmond.  “We have a responsibility to ensure our schools are safe environments for students and educators.  Parents should never have to worry for the safety of their children when they are at our schools.”

ImageTeachers in another Oklahoma school district have elected a non-union bargaining agent for upcoming negotiations. Monday, teachers selected the Strother Professional Association (SPA). It was the third decertification in recent weeks and the fourth in state history. 
 
The independent teachers association will replace the union in Strother and implement the Collaborative Communication Model supported by the Professional Oklahoma Educators (POE), a statewide independent professional association based in Norman. 
 
POE describes the Collaborative Communication Model for negotiations as a more open and inclusive process allowing all teachers to have a voice in negotiations that affect their employment, regardless of membership or affiliation. This model uses a team approach, focusing on what is best for students.
