Hey John! This is a late reply, but you might think about adding the GED classes offered at some of our libraries. I know Edmond offers this, and NW will starting in August.
You might check with Linda Dudek at OCCC Adult Learning Center to see what other related programs they might offer. 405-682-1611 ext 7121.
If these programs are still around, then maybe they would be good additions to metrolibrary.org/ged.
