Schools; authorizing the State Board of Education to promulgate rules regarding the issuance and revocation of certificates for head coaches. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 365 authorizes Oklahoma's State Board of Education to create rules for issuing and revoking certificates for head coaches in public schools. It directly affects head coaches - defined as the lead person supervising school sports programs - and school districts that employ them. The key provision amends state law to grant the Board explicit authority to establish certification standards, including requirements for obtaining, maintaining, and revoking these credentials. This change updates statutory language to formally include head coaches under the certification framework previously applied to teachers and other certified staff.
