Mike Feinberg, co-founder of the Knowledge is Power Program called Tulsa and Oklahoma City "fertile ground" for expanding its national network of schools. When visiting KIPP Tulsa College Preparatory, Feinberg said KIPP plans to shift its growth from opening schools in new cities to increasing its presences in cities where KIPP schools already exist, including Tulsa. He said that in Tulsa, "one cluster of five or six schools will get you to that tipping point" of affecting the entire school system. KIPP operates 57 schools in 17 states and the District of Columbia, with a total enrollment of more than 14,000 students.
