Dozens of Colorado teachers are at the state Capitol pushing for more money for schools.
"The Foundation remains committed to working with its partners to provide an exceptional education for all children in OKCPS", said Mary Melon, President and CEO of The Foundation of Oklahoma City Public Schools.
The reform would also change residential property taxes in order to better fund public schools. The state's teacher salaries rank 46th out of 50, with educators making an average of $46,000 per year.
Some district teachers will head to the Capitol.
Teachers in Colorado earn about $7,000 below the national average of $58,064 a year, according to a survey by the Colorado School Finance Project, a nonpartisan, nonprofit education watchdog group.
Last month, the Oklahoma Education Association announced that it is seeking a $10,000 pay raise for Oklahoma teachers over three years, a $5,000 pay raise for support professionals over three years, a cost-of-living adjustment for retirees, and the restoration of funding for education and core government services.
The teacher's union is hoping their message prompts state lawmakers to make a change.
