🌱 High School College Credit Program + TPS Summer Program Enrollment

Hello again, Tulsa! Important update: You all, as readers, have made the Tulsa Daily so successful that it is my honor to announce the next stage of the newsletter. Patch is looking for a local writer and entrepreneur to take the helm of the Tulsa Daily. Although I have loved getting to know this community, we want to pass the torch to someone truly local to write about Tulsa long term. So if you’re interested in earning extra income while making this newsletter a more valuable resource for your neighbors, learn more and apply here.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and warmer. High: 70 Low: 51.

Here are the top 3 stories in Tulsa today:

1. Tulsa Community College has launched a new program to help high school students earn college credit hours. Through the High School Plus One program, 11th- and 12th-grade students will be able to complete 31 credit hours — the equivalent of an entire year of college courses. The majority of the tuition will be covered by the Oklahoma State Regents for High Education. (KOKI FOX 23 TULSA)
2. Registration is now open for summer programs through Tulsa Public Schools. Students currently enrolled in the district will be eligible for free, full-day summer learning programs at 21 sites across the city during July. Availability is limited and enrollment will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. (KRMG)
3. The Tulsa Police Department announced plans to install Flock cameras in parts of east Tulsa to help deter crime. Officials say the surveillance system has helped police departments nationwide increase arrests for incidents including auto theft, stolen guns, drugs, and more. Captain Jacob Johnson says the department hopes to begin installing the cameras by the end of the month. (KTUL)
