Frustrated by legislative inaction, the state's largest teachers union unveiled its own proposal Friday for how state lawmakers could meet the funding demands put forward by the association to avoid an April 2 teacher strike.

Representatives from the Oklahoma Education Association, together with the Oklahoma City American Federation of Teachers and the Oklahoma Public Employees Association, outlined a plan which they said would generate about $905.6 million in recurring revenue from a variety of sources.

"This plan asks everyone to play their part and pay their part to give Oklahoma students a brighter future and all Oklahomans some hope that better days lie ahead," David DuVall, executive director of the OEA, said during a news conference Friday in Oklahoma City.

The proposal would restore the earned income tax credit, cap itemized deductions except charitable contributions and eliminate the capital gains deduction. In total, those changes would generate about $177 million, according to the plan.
