Community Schools Initiative

The Metropolitan Human Services Commission's 2005 Mid-Year Progress Report contains the evidence that the public schools are going to implement the "Community Schools Initiative" in five Union schools, Tulsa schools as well as other districts in the future. (Some as early as this fall).
NOTE: This is being done without taxpayer notification or voter approval!
Full -service schools, or "community schools" is where "Tulsa Talks" dialogues were headed the whole time. (To give the appearance of the public's 'by-in').
A community school, or "full-service" school, is one that attempts to be the "center of the community", offering all of the following "services": a clinic with mental health screening, family planning, and on-site psychologist and social workers; before/after school care; on-site pre-school (0-5); adult education (read re-education), parental involvement (supporting exactly what the schools tell them to), diversity (including sexual orientation, learning about Islam?), job placement, community policing, offering a total of 18 different services - where the whole community can be re-trained to be good little citizens.
All that is missing is a dry-cleaners.
The "Community School Initiative" is wrong and someone (we) needs to tell them NO!
This "community school initiative" is to be implemented in the same public school arena that has failed miserably to teach basics such as phonics, reading, writing, and math, while wasting dollar upon dollar of the taxpayers money - for decades.
A full-service "community school" encourages more dependency on a government institution, where the "community" (same root word as "commune" and "communism"), comes together to become "like-minded clones" of each other.
The "Community School Initiative" is wrong and someone (we) need to tell them NO!
We tell them "NO" by not going along with this, by not enrolling our children in the schools, by not using the services they're selling, by voting NO on school bond initiatives.
We parents say NO by getting rid of school board members who have gone along with this, and by seeking the resignation of the school superintendents who have sponsored this scheme behind taxpayers backs. By replacing these school boards with locally elected independent citizens who want the schools to be a place of education, not indoctrination.
Just say "NO" to community schools and all that goes with it. The time has come for parents to take back the schools.
Call the school superintendents with your objections, call and write your representative and tell them you oppose this inititiative, and call and email the Mayor and let them know your stand on this.

Operation Information
Operation Information is the home website of a coalition of concerned citizens dedicated (determined) to uphold and support an educational system that stands on traditional, conservative American values. We are also determined to expose the city, state and federal agencies that have partnered with the United Nations to subjugate our American sovereignty
Our mission is to research and reveal teachings, methods, and/or curriculum that are contrary to these values. We will also endeavor to expose city, state and federal agencies that have betrayed the trust given to them by "We the People."
Our goal is to protect our children and the educational process, and to encourage the public to take a stand for what is right in both our public schools and city, state and federal entities.
We believe in a Biblical world view, teaching reading, writing and arithmetic, and the passing on of our American culture to our children. We also believe that federal control by any means (directly or indirectly) is unconstitutional.
Since as parents we pay for the schools, our children attend them, and we as parents are Biblically responsible for our children, local control of our schools/education of our children is not an option, it is mandatory. As parents and citizens we also pay taxes that are being misused by our elected officials for agendas that are contrary to our constitution.
