Oklahoma Public School Resource Center

What Oklahoma Public School Resource Center does

Oklahoma Public School Resource Center (OPSRC) is a 501(c)-equivalent nonprofit membership organization founded in 2013 and headquartered in Oklahoma City with a regional office in Tulsa. It serves as a centralized resource hub for Oklahoma's public school districts, providing year-round expert consulting across five disciplines — teaching & learning, school finance, legal services, communications, and education technology — alongside professional development (in-person and online via the MyVideoSpot platform), a statewide product partner discount network, and specialized programs including the Teacher Pipeline registered-apprenticeship initiative, the School Design Center charter incubation program, and the Catalyst Education Fund tax-credit granting entity.

The organization's revenue model combines three streams: (1) tiered annual membership dues from public school districts ($2,500/year standard; $1,500/year for districts with 300 or fewer students), (2) operational support from four major philanthropic foundations (George Kaiser Family Foundation, Iniasmith Foundation, Schusterman Family Philanthropies, Walton Family Foundation), and (3) a five-year, $55,141,012 federal Charter Schools Program grant awarded in October 2023 by the U.S. Department of Education — making OPSRC the state's designated charter sub-grantor. Membership revenue is supplemented by member-exclusive vendor discounts across 25+ product partners (Apptegy, ClassLink, Code.org, Khan Academy, Parent Square, Lakeshore Learning, Sibme, etc.), and free services such as the Superintendent Search and statewide educator job board (launching January 2026 with Nimble) extend the organization's reach beyond paying members.

OPSRC's technology stack is non-proprietary: it delivers content and PD through third-party platforms (MyVideoSpot, Apptegy CMS, Nimble job board infrastructure) and curates AI literacy resources around partner-provided generative AI tools (Khanmigo, SchoolAI, Microsoft Copilot) rather than developing its own models. The organization's principal strategic asset is its regulatory position as Oklahoma's federally funded charter school sub-grantor and its distribution footprint across the state's ~500+ public school districts, supported by a multidisciplinary in-house consulting staff.
