Oklahoman Editorial -- "Oklahoma lost out on its first shot at millions of dollars in federal Race to the Top money to improve the state’s public schools. That’s no reason to panic. State officials now know much more about what it will take to impress federal education officials and tweak Oklahoma’s application before a second round of competition this summer."

So what needs to happen next is not only for those who put together the initial application to regroup, but for lawmakers, legislative leaders and the governor to think boldly about ways to make the application more competitive and ensure that significant education reform doesn’t leave Oklahoma behind.
