Contact Your Legislator
Every year from February to May the Oklahoma legislature convenes to build a state budget and decide on policy matters. Education is a core component of budgeting and policy making process. That is why it is vitally important for your legislators to hear from you about how school choice and EPIC have impacted your families and lives. 

Please find your legislators and communicate with them on the importance of EPIC.
