Legislature passes bill to enhance safety and security at Oklahoma Schools for the Blind and Deaf


Senator Frix Applauds Passage of School Safety Funding for Oklahoma School for the Blind

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senator Avery Frix, R-Muskogee, applauded the passage of House Bill 4067, which directs funding to enhance safety measures at the Oklahoma School for the Blind in Muskogee.

HB 4067 appropriates $93,000 to the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services for Fiscal Year 2027 to support the establishment and maintenance of a School Resource Officer (SRO) program or provide physical security improvements at the Oklahoma School for the Blind.

“At a time when school security is more important than ever, we must do everything we can to protect students in Oklahoma schools,” Frix said. “The Oklahoma School for the Blind is a valued part of the Muskogee community, and this funding will ensure they are equipped to maintain a safe and secure campus.”
