Classroom Learning and School Supplies (CLASS) Grant
The State Board of Education awards annual grants to classroom teachers to purchase supplies, materials, or equipment using funds from the Public School Classroom Support Revolving Fund. This grant is funded by taxpayer donations, which vary each year. The program has annual disbursement limits to ensure its long-term sustainability.
Statewide Educator Discount Program
The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) is excited to announce the launch of the Educator Discount Program, a new initiative from the Office of Teacher Recruitment and Retention designed to recognize, support, and give back to our dedicated educators across the state.
This program highlights businesses and service providers that offer exclusive discounts to Oklahoma’s certified K-12 teachers, school administrators, and support staff—helping them save money on both personal and professional purchases.
