Education
A
dedicated group of city leaders have continued interest in the
educational foundation of Tulsa. As a result, quality education is
synonymous with the Tulsa region. More than 64 percent of
Tulsa area residents have a high school diploma or higher, while
nearly 26 percent have a Bachelor degree or higher.
Programs such as Tulsa Community College's Tulsa Achieves pays
up to 100 percent of tuition and fees for eligible students
living in Tulsa County. Other programs vary from one
institution to the other, making education a top priority in
Tulsa.
On March 2, 2010 Tulsa voters approved the largest school
bond package in state history. The $354 million bond package is a
20-year capital improvement plan that will pay for things such
as budilidng renovations, roof and window replacement,
security systems, new libraries and books, computers, new
textbooks, buses and music and art equipment. See the bond
package here.
