Bill Summary
An Act relating to schools; amending 70 O.S. 2021, Section 9-108, which relates to additional transportation expenses; requiring school district to cover certain transportation costs; providing exception for transportation to OSSAA activities; prohibiting transportation money collected from OSSAA to be chargeable or counted as an expense; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill requires school districts to cover the costs of transportation for students participating in cocurricular and extracurricular activities, which are school-sponsored events and programs outside of regular academic classes. However, there is an exception for activities sanctioned by the Oklahoma Secondary School Activity Association (OSSAA), a governing body for interscholastic activities in Oklahoma; in these cases, the OSSAA will be responsible for the additional transportation expenses, and any money received from the OSSAA for this purpose will not be counted as part of the school district's finances. 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.
