Rep. Ellen Pogemiller Champions Education Reform in Oklahoma
January 18, 2025 - 04:47
Newly elected Rep. Ellen Pogemiller, representing Oklahoma City, is making a significant impact with her recent legislative initiatives. Among the ten bills she has filed, five are dedicated to enhancing the state's education system. One of her key proposals aims to reinstate the Counselors Corps program, which was initially launched in 2021 with the help of federal COVID-19 relief funds. This program played a crucial role in supporting 170 schools during its implementation, providing essential resources and guidance to students and educators alike.
Pogemiller's commitment to education reform reflects her dedication to addressing the challenges faced by Oklahoma's schools. The revival of the Counselors Corps program could offer much-needed support, particularly in the wake of the pandemic's impact on students' mental health and academic performance. As she moves forward with her legislative agenda, Pogemiller's efforts may pave the way for a brighter future for Oklahoma's education landscape.
