Bill > SB1524

This bill requires all public school districts in Oklahoma to post specific information on their websites, accessible within one click of the homepage, to increase transparency for the public. This information includes the name, picture, contact details (email, phone, mailing address), and a brief biography for each member of the school district's board of education, detailing their election date and term expiration. Additionally, the bill mandates the posting of the superintendent's name, picture, contact information, and a short biography. Finally, school districts must provide the date of the next election for board members, instructions on how to become a candidate, and a map of each board district. The bill also specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
