School district boards of education; removing requirement to complete certain hours of instruction. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 412 reduces training requirements for Oklahoma school board members from 12 to 3 hours, removing specific topic mandates (like school finance, open records, and ethics) that previously required detailed hour allocations. It eliminates penalties for non-completion, shifts record-keeping from the State Board of Education to individual school districts, and repeals prior training requirements. New members must complete 3 hours of unspecified training within 6 months of appointment, while incumbents face no new requirements. The bill takes immediate effect as an emergency measure.
