Schools; Oklahoma Extracurricular Enrichment Act; creating the Educator Extracurricular Support Program for compensating teachers supporting extracurricular programs; lottery funds; effective date; emergency.

HB 4070 creates the Oklahoma Extracurricular Support Program to provide stipends for teachers and staff who lead after-school programs, particularly in schools serving many low-income students. It allocates funds from lottery revenues to support extracurricular activities like academic clubs, STEAM programs (robotics, coding, science clubs), and leadership groups outside regular school hours. Priority is given to schools without existing STEAM programs, those with high poverty rates, and programs addressing gaps in student enrichment opportunities. The program requires participating schools to submit annual reports on program participation and outcomes, with funds supplementing - rather than replacing - existing local or federal funding for these activities.
