Bill > SB1768

This bill allows school districts and charter schools in Oklahoma to include up to 10 virtual days in their school year policy, which can be used for reasons such as inclement weather, teacher unavailability, or building maintenance issues. The school district or charter school must notify the State Department of Education within 72 hours of using a virtual day, and the Department will determine if the use of virtual instruction complied with the provisions of the law. If the Department determines the use did not comply, the school district or charter school must provide an additional day of in-person instruction. The bill also outlines requirements for the virtual instruction, such as allowing for synchronous and asynchronous instruction, and specifying how students without home internet access will receive instruction. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2024 and includes an emergency clause.
