School employees; modifying the access statewide professional educators' associations have to school employees. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 851 requires Oklahoma school districts to grant statewide professional educators' associations equal access to school employees for activities like setting up informational tables, distributing materials in school mailboxes, and using meeting rooms. It prohibits districts from conditioning this access on fees, meals, donations, or other services and bans requiring payments for promotional materials or distribution. The bill also mandates that districts notify the school board if access is denied, and if unresolved within 15 days, the association must inform the State Board of Education. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies to all school districts in Oklahoma.
