Oklahoma Legislative Info


HERO of Oklahoma Legislative E-Mail List
The OKlegislative list is a non-partisan forum limited to discussion of the facts and opinions regarding legislation passed, or being considered by Congress and/or the Oklahoma Legislature that will, or does, directly affect homeschooling families. Media reports of homeschooling or other urgent information is also welcome. "Chat" or other general homeschooling topics are not appropriate for this forum.

The OKlegislative list serves as a link in a statewide information network. Posting pertinent legislative facts and information to this list is welcomed and encouraged.

Our sister-list, Oklahoma Homeschooling, is an open discussion of ALL issues related to homeschooling in Oklahoma and homeschooling in general.
