AI Summary
This bill modifies the requirements for alternative teaching certificates in Oklahoma, specifically impacting adjunct teachers. An adjunct teacher is defined as someone with distinguished qualifications in their field who does not need to meet standard certification requirements. Under this bill, adjunct teachers will now need to possess high school diplomas and will be prohibited from being employed as full-time kindergarten through fifth-grade mathematics or English language arts teachers in public schools or public charter schools. The bill also updates statutory references and language related to alternative teaching certification programs and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
