School Based Health Care Concerns

By Staff Report

The rapid rollout of government‑run medical clinics in Oklahoma’s public schools is shifting our education system from teaching children to recruiting youth into government‑managed health programs.

Oklahomans deserve transparency, lawful governance, and schools that prioritize education, not government‑run medical operations.

By David Arnett

Rep. Gabe Woolley, R-Broken Arrow, has filed House Joint Resolution 1037, a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at increasing public accountability and oversight of Oklahoma’s publicly funded colleges and universities.
