Advocating education Becky Felts has worked for years to better the education system across the state and the nation, and now, she’s president of the Oklahoma Education Association. By TEDDYE SNELLPress Staff Writer “I tell folks around the state we have a saying back in Tahlequah about ‘leaving the woodpile stacked a little higher than you found it,’” she said. “My OEA vision is to have a great public school for every student. OEA is about advocating for great Oklahoma schools, building a stronger workforce to create higher-paying jobs, and a better Oklahoma economy.”
According to Felts, OEA is about teacher quality, improving school employees’ salaries, providing professional development, and supporting community and school partnerships. “My goal is to make education a true legislative priority with investments and accountability for providing what schools need for teaching, and what students need for learning. During my term of office, I plan to stack the woodpile as high as I am able,” she said.
