Students; creating the Fund Students, Not Systems Act; providing for calculation of education savings account amount. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 247 creates the "Fund Students, Not Systems Education Savings Account Program" in Oklahoma, allowing eligible students (residents aged 5-18, or up to 22 for IDEA students) to receive state education funds for qualified expenses. These funds can cover tuition, fees, instructional materials, and supplies at participating schools or learning providers chosen by parents. The State Department of Education administers the program, calculates account amounts based on public school funding, and prohibits new regulations or oversight requirements for private schools or homeschool families. The bill ensures public schools continue receiving robust funding while expanding parental choice in education settings.
