State Board of Education; specifying apportionment of certain appropriated funds. Effective date. Emergency.

This bill directs the Oklahoma State Board of Education on how to distribute approximately $3.85 billion in state funds for the 2025 fiscal year, specifically outlining amounts for public school support, employee benefits, and various instructional programs. It requires the department to create performance measures for each budget category and mandates that certain funds be transferred to specific accounts, such as those for school consolidation and teacher retirement. The legislation also limits the authority to reduce specific apportionments and sets procedures for handling unanticipated federal funds, while prohibiting the department from contracting for certain administrative costs.
