SECTION 210:35-3-226. The "why" of deregulation
Latest version.
- Oklahoma School Deregulation is about better local schools, local school improvement and local student results. It is based on a strongly held belief that rules, standards and regulations cannot in and of themselves foster improvement in education. The appropriate place for developing innovations and meeting student needs is at the local district and individual school site levels–thus, a fundamental focus of Oklahoma School Deregulation is to ensure that local schools have the necessary freedom and flexibility to innovate as they continue to strive toward school improvement and student results.
