AI Summary
This bill prohibits public schools in Oklahoma from using federal, state, or private funds to promote, purchase, or utilize the concepts of "social emotional learning" (SEL) for student training, instruction, or education. It defines SEL as any evidence-based or non-evidence-based programming that addresses non-cognitive social factors like self-awareness, social skills, and emotional regulation. The bill also prohibits teachers and other school employees from using any curricula related to SEL. It provides a process for parents to report suspected violations to the district attorney, who can then notify state education committees and the State Department of Education, which can impose financial penalties on the school district. The bill also makes related amendments to existing laws regarding the Oklahoma School for the Blind and the Oklahoma School for the Deaf.
