  • The Fiscal Impact of Tax-Credit Scholarships in Oklahoma. State
    The Foundation for Educational Choice WWW.EDCHOICE.ORG STATE RESEARCH The Fiscal Impact of Tax-Credit Scholarships in Oklahoma June 2011 Brian Gottlob About the Foundation for Educational Choice The Foundation for Educational Choice is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, solely dedicated to advancing Milton and Rose Friedman’s vision of school choice for all children. First established as the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation in 1996, the foundation continues to promote school choice as the most effective and equitable way to improve the quality of K-12 education in America. The foundation is dedicated to research, education, and outreach on the vital issues and implications related to choice in K-12 education. Commitment to Methods & Transparency The Foundation for Educational Choice is committed to research that adheres to high scientific standards, and matters of methodology and transparency are taken seriously at all levels of our organization. We are dedicated to providing high-quality information in a transparent and efficient manner. All individuals have opinions, and many organizations (like our own) have specific missions or philosophical orientations. Scientific methods, if used correctly and followed closely in well-designed studies, should neutralize these opinions and orientations. Research rules and methods minimize bias. We believe rigorous procedural rules of science prevent a researcher’s motives, and an organization’s particular orientation, from pre-determining results. If research adheres to proper scientific and methodological standards, its findings can be relied upon no matter who has conducted it. If rules and methods are neither specified nor followed, then the biases of the researcher or an organization may become relevant, because a lack of rigor opens the door for those biases to affect the results.

WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL, 1975-1980 Dissertation Approved: Dr. A. Kenneth Stern Dissertation Adviser Dr. Edward Harris Dr. Bernita Krum Dr. Elizabeth Williams Dr. A. Gordon Emslie Dean of the Graduate College ii A Magnet School and Desegregation ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The people involved with the completion of this degree over the past seven years are too numerous to mention. I would like to highlight a few though, with whose help the dissertation would not have been possible. To my dissertation advisor, Dr. Ken Stern, I owe a debt of gratitude. He helped me through, what seemed like, endless drafts, always being positive and encouraging. I enjoyed the conversations he and I had at Mojo’s over the past years. Dr. Stern and Dr. Ed Harris have guided me through many of my classes, and their input has been invaluable. Dr. Krum’s editing skills have made me a better writer and a clearer thinker. I have listened to her advice and have become a better researcher because of it. Dr. Williams was the first person that I met when I came to Oklahoma State University and I am grateful she accepted my invitation to serve on my committee and offered her advice.

Jones Fellow Jacqueline Clary, Law Clerk June 7, 2009 Summary Field hearings on the proposed National Broadband Plan will enable the commissioners to hear directly from those most in need of universal, competitive, affordable and accessible broadband service.1 At the hearings, the Commission can develop an exemplary record through the testimony of local witnesses. We are proposing that the Commission conduct fifteen hearings during the summer and fall of 2009. Ideally each of the commissioners would attend each hearing. These hearings would afford the Commission an opportunity to explore the transformative power of broadband to unleash new waves of innovation, to create jobs and economic growth, to improve national competitiveness, and to create new tools for: • Telemedicine, to deliver efficient, affordable, and personalized healthcare to all Americans, wherever they may be; • E-Learning, to provide high-quality education to the underserved; • Telepresence or Telework, to provide reduced energy costs and consumption, and to create new global job opportunities; • E-Government, to create and engage in civic participation and democracy; • E-Commerce, to allow all communities, especially minority business enterprises (“MBEs”), to participate more fully in the global economy; and 1 Announced at FCC Open Meeting, April 8, 2009; see also National Broadband Plan Notice of Inquiry, GN Docket No. 09-51 (April 8, 2009) (“Broadband Plan NOI”).

  • A Study of the Self-Segregated Community of Tatums, Oklahoma, 1894-1970
    A PLACE TO CALL HOME: A STUDY OF THE SELF-SEGREGATED COMMUNITY OF TATUMS, OKLAHOMA, 1894-1970 Rhonda M. Ragsdale, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2005 APPROVED: Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Major Professor Randalph B. Campbell, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Harold Tanner, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Ragsdale, Rhonda M., A Place to Call Home: A Study of the Self-Segregated Community of Tatums, Oklahoma, 1894-1970, Master of Science (History), August 2005, 205 pp., 15 tables, 8 illustrations, 332 references. This study examines Tatums, Oklahoma, under the assumption that the historically black towns (HBT) developed as a response to conditions in the South. This community provides a rich example of the apparent anomalies that the environment of self-segregation created. Despite the widespread violence of the Klan, the residents of the HBTs were not the targets of lynching or mob violence. During the years after World War II, Tatums residents enjoyed the greatest prosperity. The final chapter looks at the battle Tatums’ residents fought to keep their school from being closed after the state of Oklahoma began to enforce the Brown v. Board of Education decisions in the 1960s. Their solidarity during the desegregation transition remained powerful enough for them to negotiate compromises regarding the fair treatment of their children in a world that was integrating around them. Copyright 2005 by Rhonda M. Ragsdale ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although the list of those who helped me is too long to name, I must acknowledge my debt of gratitude to the people of the community of Tatums, Oklahoma.

  • A Case Study Developed from NICHQ's Exploring State-Level
    A Case Study Developed from NICHQ’s Exploring State-Level Strategies to Improve Maternal Health and Birth Outcomes Initiative 308 Congress Street, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02210 | p: 617.391.2700 | f: 617.391.2743 www.NICHQ.org With the introduction of the Infant Mortality Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (IM CoIIN) in 2013, Oklahoma launched a series of collaborative and coordinated initiatives to address infant mortality in 2014, including focused work on reducing preterm (less than 37 weeks gestation) and early term birth (37-38 weeks gestation) and leveraging existing partnership and statewide stakeholders. Oklahoma was highly engaged in both program activities and data submission during IM CoIIN and focused their preterm birth reduction activities on increasing access to interventions such as progesterone and smoking cessation. Since 2007, Oklahoma has seen a decline in infant mortality from 8.4 per 1,000 live births to 7.8 in 2017. However, similar to a majority of other states, preterm birth rates have been increasing. 2018 saw the highest rates of preterm birth in Oklahoma in more than a decade — 11.4 percent.1 This is higher than the 2018 U.S. national rate of 10%. In addition, racial disparities in infant mortality remain persistently high. Black mothers in Oklahoma experienced a more than two-fold higher risk of infant mortality compared to white mothers and Asian/Pacific Island mothers. Black mothers are 38% more likely to have a preterm birth compared to all other women.1 American Indian/Alaska Native mothers in Oklahoma experience a higher risk of infant mortality than white or Hispanic mothers at a rate of 11% of live births.
