Nothing is blown out of the water. You still haven't given the three numbers I'm looking for. Total dollars for the negotiations pre/during/post strike, how much for teachers salaries and how much for the classroom? I do find it funny, and typical, that the first big chunk negotiated was for teachers salaries. So what are the numbers? You've posted half dozen times since and you still haven't put out the numbers. You seem to have such great Googlefu, put them up.
For some reason you can't understand me walking you through the whole scenario. I've been posting numbers in plain English and even posted a timeline, so I really don't know how to help you outside of that.
The first big chunk wasn't "negotiated"..... that's what the legislature brought to the table and passed after the list of demands were relayed by the teachers. Of which included 200 million for the classrooms was requested from the get go. They stayed IN the walkout because those numbers were not met with the initial passing of the bill. Common knowledge to Oklahoma residents.
Geeze...another "damn the teachers" thread. Read the first page and skipped straight here...didnt need to read it all.
Why isn't anyone this upset with a state legislature who got paid last year for a job that still isn't finished. Now they are running a concurrent session that they want to end a month early. Talk about wasteful spending!

They are trying to finish early to save dollars. $30,000 a day is what I''m told it cost us for them to be in session.
With all the experts here, this is the pool that voters should be selecting from in November. Some of you guys need to step up and take one for the team.
Especially after the $100+K per day the walkout cost the taxpayers...
On the other hand there have been many cheating scandals there so without outside testing and evaluations should their success stories be taken with a grain of salt?

But maybe that school is doing something different than the many schools being closed there after hundreds of thousands being pumped into them along with teacher coaches, health clinics, and onsight social services, if so then there needs to be more serious investigation about what works to copy it and what doesn't to eliminate that.
