AI Summary
This bill prohibits public schools in Oklahoma from using any federal, state, or private funds to promote, purchase, or utilize the concepts of "social emotional learning" for the training, instruction, or education of students. The bill defines "social emotional learning" broadly to include various evidence-based or non-evidence-based programs, policies, and procedures related to non-cognitive social factors. It also prohibits teachers and school employees from using any curricula with content related to social emotional learning. The bill provides a reporting mechanism for parents or legal guardians to report potential violations to the district attorney, who can then notify the state legislature's education committees. If a violation is determined, the State Department of Education can assess a financial penalty against the school district. The bill also makes some related amendments to existing laws regarding the Oklahoma Play to Learn Act and the purposes of the Oklahoma School for the Blind and the Oklahoma School for the Deaf.
