[UNFILTERED] Coffee Chat With The Reps In Norman

Dozens of people supporting improved classroom funding for public school teachers gathered at a coffee shop in Norman to hear from a pair of Oklahoma legislators about the upcoming teacher walkout.

[UNFILTERED] reporters and University of Oklahoma students Reagan Ledbetter and Sam Brown were there. They are both students at the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

The event was called "Coffee Chat with the Reps," and it featured Representatives Emily Virgin and Jacob Rosencrants.

After the event, Ledbetter and Brown took a few minutes to recap the morning and look ahead to Monday's walkout.
