Oklahoma religious leaders back Lankford's theology student aid bill

When he learned about a new bill in Congress, the Rev. Doug Melton thought about an important aspect of Jesus' earthly ministry. "If you go all the way back to Jesus' disciples, we know that he was not necessarily calling those who were wealthy or the academically credentialed — he was calling ordinary men and I believe he still does that today." Melton, senior pastor of Southern Hills Baptist Church, said those ordinary individuals called to ministry don't always have "huge economic freedom," so they often rely on the help they can receive through grants, scholarships and loans. More: US dubs theology students as nonprofessional, limits loan amounts With this in mind, the preacher welcomes U.S. Sen. James Lankford's Religious Education Fairness Act. Introduced on Sept. 29 by Lankford, R-Oklahoma, and the bill's co-sponsor, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the proposed legislation aims to protect programs classified as theology and religious vocations or philosophy and religious studies at eligible educational institutions from the Working Families Tax Cut Act’s “Do No Harm” provision, which puts federal student aid at risk based on graduates’ earnings. The Religious Education Fairness Act uses the existing Title IX religious exemption framework to identify eligible institutions and

SQ 847 may cut taxes but could starve Oklahoma schools | Letters

SQ 847 would cut property taxes but gut school funding The state question (SQ 847) if passed would lower residential property taxes from annual max increase of 3% to 1.75% Who would not want to see your taxes go down? I will vote NO and here is why. Residential property taxes fund public schools and CareerTech centers like Francis Tuttle. Some property taxes may support county specific infrastructure projects, but the majority supports public schools and vo-techs. As tax receipts fall in subsequent years, how does a school district/city cover a significant funding gap? Will we see school districts consolidate? The ability to service existing debt obligations that may exist or fund new capital projects with debt is impacted. Edmond Public Schools are one of the reasons so many choose to make Edmond home. To maintain adequate funding and the mission of making Edmond schools top notch, the city would be forced to raise its sales tax. Its already 8.25% in Edmond, but the city only gets to keep 3.75%. That supports city police, fire, parks, city administration and capital improvement projects. Lowering residential property taxes sounds great on the surface, but the implications are enormous for most all cities
