Tulsa Public Schools leaders signaled their support of a potential teacher walkout for higher pay and more school funding Monday but indicated they hope it doesn't come to that point.

The school district said in a written statement, "We are joining school districts from across the state to work with the leadership of the Oklahoma Education Association to advocate for a proposal to restore funding to education and increase teacher salaries."

A variety of proposals for how to go about a teacher walkout or statewide school shutdown are still under consideration by various groups of teachers and school district leaders around the state. Two ideas circulating widely on newly formed social media groups are for teachers to not return from spring break or to simply not show up for work on April 2.
