On November 2, 2010, Oklahomans will vote on SQ 744, a constitutional amendment that would peg the annual education budget in Oklahoma to the regional average per pupil expenditure in six neighboring states. OK Policy has released an issue brief and accompanying materials on SQ 744 that makes the case for why the proposal represents the wrong solution for Oklahoma.
