AI Summary

This bill requires school districts in Oklahoma, starting with the 2026-2027 school year, to spend at least fifty percent (50%) of their annual budget on "instructional expenditures," which are defined by the National Center for Education Statistics (a federal entity within the U.S. Department of Education) and do not include administrative services or related equipment. An "annual budget" for this purpose includes funds from local, state, and federal sources but excludes revenue from bond sales, property or equipment sales, school fundraisers, or grants from nonprofit organizations. If a school district fails to meet this fifty percent requirement, it will be prohibited from offering extracurricular activities during the school day for the entire school year that the noncompliance applies to. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
