TO: The Honorable Chair and Trustees
Owasso Economic Development Authority
FROM: Chelsea M,E. Harkins
Director of Economic Development
SUBJECT: State Question No. 744
Amount of Money the State Provides to Support Common Schools
DATE: October 8, 2010
BACKGROUND:
Regardless of the method of comparison, Oklahoma public education system is underfunded.
The National Center on Education Statistics ranks the state 49th in per pupil expenditures for K -12
education. In the recent declining economy, the state has fallen even further behind funding
education budgets, resulting in teacher lay -offs, increased class sizes, and reductions in
programs and services.
While Oklahoma sinks to the bottom in education rankings, it also falls further behind in funding
for public health, transportation, social services and higher education, Due to poor economic
conditions, the state fiscal crisis has decimated budgets and forced cuts across all agencies and
functions of government. In many areas, these cuts have been doubly destructive to
municipalities throughout the state, as city governments have been unable to cover shortfalls
due to declining sales tax receipts.
Although legitimate concerns about how to adequately fund education have been expressed
for years, suggestions and changes to the way the state funds the public school system have not
been adopted or successfully implemented. The belief that Oklahoma can solve its education
funding problems by earmarking general revenues (as required by the proposal) appears to
exchange one set of problems for another. Thus the question lingers, "How do we manage
multiple priorities ?"
State Question No. 744:
Appearing on the November 2, 2010 General Election ballot, State Question 744 is being
advertised as a solution to Oklahoma's education problems. SQ 744 has been an under -the-
breath discussion topic between legislators, public administrators, and chamber of commerce
for a couple years now, and as Election Day has crept closer, more information has become
available to the public.
SQ 744 Initiative Petition No. 391 language states the following;
The measure repeals a Section of the State Constitution. The repealed section
required the Legislature annually to spend $42,00 for each common school
student. Common schools offer pre- kindergarten through twelfth grade.
FACTS:
The measure also adds a new Article to the Constitution, It sets a minimum
average amount the State must annually spend on common schools. It requires
the State to spend annually, no less than the average amount spent on each
student by the surrounding states. Those surrounding states are Missouri, Texas,
Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado and New Mexico. When the average amount spent
by surrounding states declines, Oklahoma must spend the amount it spent the
year before.
The measure deals with money on day -to -day operations of the schools and
school districts. This includes spending on instructions, support services and non -
instructional services, The measure does not deal with money spent to pay debt,
for buildings or for other capital needs.
The measure requires that increased spending begin in the first fiscal year after its
passage. It requires that the surrounding states average be met in the third fiscal
year after passage.
The measure does not raise taxes, nor does it provide new funding for the new
spending requirements,
If this measure is approved, it would lead to a major increase in public education
spending and it would make education spending a priority over all other state functions.
If passed, SQ 744 will require that Oklahoma's per pupil expenditure be at least equal to
the regional average in the six surrounding states and be phased in over the three years
following the fiscal year in which the measure is approved. Using the formula provided
by the measure, the projected spending on Common Education would have to increase
by nearly $1.7 billion over the three -year phase -in period.
SQ 744 does not identify any new revenue source to fund the increased expenditures on
common education while also continuing to fund other state agencies at the same level.
CONCLUSIONS:
➢ Oklahoma's education system needs help. From per pupil funding to teacher salaries to
poor program and service funding, our schools need money and attention. However,
enacting policy which suffers from unclear language, lacks mechanisms to ensure
improved educational quality, and abdicates responsibility for Oklahoma's budget is not
the right way to support our state common education.
➢ While this measure states it "does not raise taxes," ultimately it will force the public to
reach into their own pockets to offset the drain to the state budget.
➢ Business is struggling in both the public and private sectors. The answer is not to single out
one priority, but to work across the state system to improve all government agencies and
services.
RECOMMENDATION:
SQ 744 appears to be short - sighted and poor public policy, A laser- focused approach creates
more problems than solutions for taxpayers, A more comprehensive approach to addressing
the needs for better state education is needed; however SQ 744 is not the right vehicle.
Staff recommends the OEDA take actions to encourage the citizens of Owasso to vote "no" on
SQ 744.

OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
CITY OF OWASSO, OKLAHOMA
RESOLUTION NUMBER 2010 -02
A RESOLUTION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF OWASSO,
OKLAHOMA,
WHEREAS, State Question No. 744, if adopted, would amend the Oklahoma Constitution to require
that Oklahoma's annual state per pupil expenditure for grades K -12 be at least equal to the regional
average per pupil expenditure in six (b) surrounding states; and,
WHEREAS, the Owasso Economic Development Authority Trustees believe that a high quality
educational system is vital to the economic growth of Oklahoma; and,
WHEREAS, it is estimated that State Question No. 744 would require Oklahoma's expenditure for
common education to increase by $1.7 billion once the measure is fully implemented over a three -year
phase -in period; and,
WHEREAS, if the measure is adopted, funding the measure would require deep cuts in all areas of
state government, or substantial tax increases, or both; and,
WHEREAS, by mandating spending increases in education without providing for a source of
expansion of state revenue, the measure will severely damage all other areas of public investment,
including higher education, transportation, corrections, human services, healthcare, and public safety;
and,
WHEREAS, the resulting tax increase and /or reduction of governmental services will impair
economic growth in the state, degrade state infrastructure and put the public, including its most vulnerable
citizens, in danger; and,
WHEREAS, State Question No. 744 is poor public policy by placing the funding of education out of
the control of elected officials accountable to the voters; and,
WHEREAS, the Owasso Economic Development Authority Trustees believe that funding of
education should be set by elected officials considering the available revenue and existing demand for all
government services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Owasso Economic Development Authority trustees
oppose the adoption of State Question No. 744.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Owasso Economic Development Authority Trustees encourage
the citizens of Owasso to vote "no" on State Question No. 744 on November 2, 2010.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED thisl4th day of October, 2010, by the Economic Development Authority
of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma.

• If passed, SQ 744 would
require school spending
to rise to the per pupil
average of the six sur-
rounding states.
• We project that spend-
ing on Common Educa-
tion would have to in-
crease by nearly $1.7
billion over the three -
year phase -in period.
• Given that the state
must also replace over
$1 billion in non-
recurring revenue in its
base budget, passage
of SQ 744 would re-
quire deep spending
cuts to the rest of state
government, substantial
tax increases, or both.
• The measure also suf-
fers from unclear lan-
guage, lacks mecha-
nisms to ensure im-
proved educational
quality, and would hand
authority for Okla-
homa's budget over to
legislators and courts in
other states.
• SQ 744 should lead us
to reconsider what we
must do to ensure an
adequate investment in
education and our other
state priorities.

SQ 744: The Wrong Solution
State Question 744 is a proposed constitu-
tional amendment that will be on the November
ballot in Oklahoma. If approved, it would peg
the annual education budget in Oklahoma to
the regional average per pupil expenditure in
Oklahoma's six bordering states. Supporters
point to low levels of spending on common edu-
cation in Oklahoma and argue that SQ 744 is
needed to ensure that Oklahoma's children are
not shortchanged.
There are four major arguments for why SQ
744 is the wrong way to proceed:
1. SQ 744 would ensure the severe under -
funding of all other areas of government.
We project that spending on Common Edu-
cation would have to increase by almost
$1.7 billion over a three -year phase -in pe-
riod. Given that the state remains in the
midst of a deep and prolonged budget cri-
sis, passage of SQ 744 would ensure a
severe funding shortage for all other func-

tions of state government that would nec-
essarily require even deeper budget cuts,
tax increases, or both.
2. Budget policy should not be decided by
constitutional formula. SQ 744 would take
decisions about Oklahoma's budget out of
the hands of Oklahomans and into the
hands of legislators, courts and voters
outside our borders.
3. The language in SQ 744 is unclear and
does not reflect how we fund education.
Ambiguous language could put local fund-
ing of education into doubt and lead to
litigation and unintended consequences.
4. SQ 744 is not the best means to ensure
improved educational outcomes. The
measure lacks standards and goals tying
increased funding to strategies for improv-
ing our schools.
Overall, SQ 744 ignores the reality that the
funding challenges faced by common educa-
tion are shared across the full spectrum of
state government. By mandating huge spend-
ing increases for common education without
ensuring an overall expansion of state reve-
nues, we create the strong likelihood of set-
ting the state further behind in all the other
areas of public investment that Oklahomans,
including our schoolchildren and teachers, rely
on. Even if SQ 744 fails, we must reconsider
how to support an adequate investment in a
quality education for our children and our
other state priorities in a fiscally responsible
manner.

YES on State Question 744 will:
• Allow Oklahoma to raise itself up from dead
last in the region and 49th in the nation in
what we invest in our children.
• Guarantee that the average amount spent
for each student in Oklahoma is at least
equal to the average spent in other states in
our region.
• Ensure our children have smaller classes
and that our schools can recruit and retain
high quality teachers.
Oklahoma's Children Are Falling Behind
Take control of school funding from career
politicians and bureaucrats and put it in the
hands of local parents, teachers and school
boards.
And SQ 744 does NOT raise faxes.
Today, Oklahoma's students don't have the same educational opportunities as children in
neighboring states like Arkansas and Texas. Right now, Oklahoma is dead last in the region and
491h in the nation in what we invest in our students. We believe they deserve better.
Our schools are severely underfunded, and it's about time we invest in Oklahoma's students and
schools at the level they need to be competitive. SQ 744 takes control of education funding from
career politicians and bureaucrats and gives it to local parents, teachers and school board members
who know best what children need.
Our Children Deserve Better
If we want to grow our economy by expanding economic opportunities for our children we need to
provide the educational foundation they need to succeed.
Right now, students in Oklahoma are forced to attend increasingly crowded classes where they
must use outdated books and share obsolete technology.
SQ 744 will ensure that our schools can recruit and retain great teachers so we can reduce class
sizes and provide Oklahoma's children with the tools they need to compete and succeed
alongside the best and brightest from the region and across the nation.

Frequently Asked Questions About SQ 744
Why Should Oklahomans Vote YES on 744?
• SQ 744 gives Oklahoma's children access to the same educational opportunities as
children in neighboring states, like Arkansas and Texas.
• Over the past 2 years Oklahoma's funding for pre -K through 12th grade education
has decreased by over $200 million dollars. This has resulted in mass teacher layoffs,
shortages of supplies and slashed curriculums. SQ 744 will prevent further harmful
cuts.
• SQ 744 will provide schools with the resources to recruit and retain additional high
quality teachers and help provide for smaller classes, so Oklahoma students receive
the individual attention they need and deserve.
• Oklahoma ranks last in the region in average teacher pay. SQ 744 will help us recruit
and retain the best teachers for our students.
• SQ 744 requires accountability in school investment. It puts control of education
funding in the hands of local parents, teachers and school board members who
know what their students and schools need.
How Will Our Investment Help?
SQ 744 will provide Oklahoma schools with the resources they need to:
o Reduce class sizes
• Supply up -to -date books
• Modernize technology in classrooms and labs
• Provide support services for students, such as career counseling
programs and dropout prevention programs
• Enhance special education programs
• Strengthen school safety programs
Will S0744 Raise Taxes?
SQ 744 does NOT call for a tax increase. What SQ 744 does call for is common sense
budgeting that prioritizes Oklahoma's children and removes waste and pork barrel
spending. We have an opportunity, as Oklahoma emerges from the recession and state
revenues grow, to put our kids first and invest in their future. Our economy needs it and
our kids deserve it.
How Long Will It Take For SQ 744 To Take Effect?
SQ 744 provides for a three -year phase -in period, which means that it will not be fully
implemented until the 2014 -2015 school year. This will allow us to properly plan and
prioritize our schools.

TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR AND TRUSTEES
OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
FROM: CHELSEA M.E. HARKINS
DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: DIRECTOR'S REPORT
DATE: October 14, 2010
CORPORATE RECRUITING
Information is being collected on companies in California, Arizona and Florida which could be
eligible for corporate relocation. The selection process is based on the criteria of companies
with 100+ employees, paying average salaries of $65,000 or more and offer good benefits.
Some companies give an indication for future expansion or voice frustration with current state or
federal laws that make doing business difficult. Public concerns, such as these are used to signal
their current location and governments to come to their aid to prevent them from moving, but
nevertheless, it is an opportunity.
The message to companies varies based on the industry. Resources are being expanded to
assemble the right messages to the right companies for Owasso. Site consultant firms perform
these tasks for a fee. Meetings have been scheduled to bring together groups of citizens and
business people to accomplish similar tasks without cost. Other resources from the Chamber of
Commerce and Tulsa Area Partnership are helpful for providing leads and additional marketing.
As the list grows for possible corporate recruits, so does the expectation for more quality jobs in
our community. Staff continues to assemble ideas and use those tools to show outside business
why they should invest in our city.
BUY OWASSO '
The holiday shopping season is upon us and as always, the City is delivering the Buy Owasso
message to residents with emphasis to shop locally during this time of year. The businesses will
receive a letter this month reminding them about Buy Owasso as a free marketing tool they can
use to promote their business for the holidays.
The campaign will continue to make citizens aware that shopping at home is easy and
convenient and has a direct impact to the community, Last year, the message became vocal
as citizens talked about how they bought many, if not all of their holiday shopping items in
Owasso. That vocal message needs to continue this year. As people are out shopping, their
message should be that they did all their shopping at home.
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Orange Leaf frozen yogurt business has opened in the Owasso Towne Center at 12910 E.
86th Street N.
