AI Summary
This bill amends Oklahoma law to remove the requirement for school district board of education members to complete a certain number of hours of instruction on education issues within a specific timeframe after being elected or appointed. Instead, the bill makes such training optional and reduces the required number of training hours from 12 to 3, covering school finance, the Open Meeting Act, and school law and ethics. The bill also directs board members to represent the interests of their constituents, removes penalties for failing to complete training, and allows school districts to be charged for their members' training attendance. Additionally, the bill requires school districts, rather than the State Board of Education, to maintain and post records of board members' training completion on their website.
