TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa voters approved all four propositions in the Strong Schools, Strong Tulsa bond election, authorizing a $609 million investment in Tulsa Public Schools for facility upgrades, technology improvements, transportation and expanded student opportunities.

Voters approved the measure April 7, 2026.

School officials said the bond will fund improvements aimed at increasing campus safety, modernizing learning environments, expanding educational opportunities and improving transportation access across the district.

“We are so thankful to the great city of Tulsa and its residents, who with their votes made it clear that access to safe learning environments and modern resources is a shared priority of the community,” Superintendent Dr. Ebony Johnson said. “Thanks to your support, we will continue the important work of investing in our young people while prioritizing student outcomes.”

Propositions 1 and 2 will direct nearly $500 million toward security improvements, campus remodeling, HVAC repairs, instructional materials, career academies and physical education.

Proposition 3 dedicates more than $100 million to technology and cybersecurity upgrades.

Proposition 4 allocates more than $27 million for transportation improvements, including the return of free in-school driver’s education.

District officials said the 2026 bond replaces the 2021 bond and will not increase the tax rate for Tulsa residents.

School leaders also pointed to recent district gains under Johnson’s leadership, including a three-year high in attendance, improved math and English proficiency rates across all grades compared to 2023, and 42 schools increasing scores on the state’s annual A-F report card.

District officials said bond projects were developed through a review process led by the Citizen Bond Development Committee, and a Citizens Oversight Committee will be formed to help oversee implementation.
