What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

The Oklahoma Department of Education is considering a proposal that would require all alternative education programs to solely conduct attendance in-person.

That means, full-time online programs, including Insight School (ISOK), would no longer be able to provide its alternative education program.

Your student and their ISOK classmates deserve better than this misguided policy.

Without the ISOK, Oklahoma’s most vulnerable students lose

The Insight School is an important program for many of Oklahoma’s most vulnerable students.

Student profile:

  • 23% of students with disabilities (vs. 18% state average)
  • 66% of students are economically disadvantaged (vs. 56% state average)

The top three reasons students enroll in ISOK:

  • Concerns about the mental health of the student
  • Catch up academically
  • Concerns about the environment of their previous school

Here’s how to get involved:

Share Your Story

We need the State Department of Education to hear from the families impacted by the proposal. Let us know how ISOK and the alternative education program has helped your student and family. Use the form here to share your story.
