STILLWATER — Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy directly inserted himself into the state's school funding issue three weeks ago when he appeared at a board meeting of the Stillwater Public Schools, offering his own money to improve school security in the district.
On Wednesday afternoon, before Gundy's team took the field at the Sherman Smith Training Center for its fifth spring practice, the coach delved into the process in more detail, while also offering his support for the teachers currently staging a walkout and protesting at the State Capitol to urge legislators to provide better funding for education.
