OKC MAPS PROJECTS – 25 YEARS
Suburban District Funding . MAPS for Kids also recognized the need to address the educational facilities serving all children in Oklahoma City, regardless of the school district they attend. Thirty percent of MAPS for Kids funding, or $155 million, was shared with the 23 suburban school districts situated within the Oklahoma City limits. District payouts were based on the attendance shares of those children who resided in Oklahoma City but attended school outside the OKCPS district. Figure 5.

Further restructuring efforts are currently underway within the district. Recently appointed Superintendent Sean McDaniel has stressed the need for the district to achieve even greater efficiency in the use of existing infrastructure. Estimates from the district suggest that currently only 60% of physical classroom capacity is utilized. 16 Most of the excess capacity is located at elementary schools,
