Bill Summary

Supp. 2025, Section 8- 103.1), which relates to inter-district transfers; requiring school districts to accept students of active duty military families regardless of capacity; removing district residency requirements for students of active duty military families; requiring schools to treat students of military families as in-district residents for enrollment purposes; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.

AI Summary

This bill requires school districts to accept students who are the dependent children of active duty military personnel, regardless of the district's capacity, and removes the requirement for these students to reside within the district to be enrolled. It also mandates that these students be treated as in-district residents for enrollment purposes, meaning they will not be subject to the same residency rules as other students. The bill clarifies that "active military duty" includes members of the National Guard and Military Reserve on active duty orders, and defines "military installation" as any Department of Defense or Coast Guard facility. This legislation aims to ease the enrollment process for military families relocating to Oklahoma due to their service.
