SB 1895 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Schools; requiring public school districts to annually identify certain students beginning in certain school year. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1895 requires Oklahoma public school districts eligible for the federal Community Eligibility Provision (which provides free school meals to all students in exchange for federal funding) to notify the State Department of Education annually by September 1 if they choose not to participate. The notification must include the specific reason for opting out. This bill, effective July 1, 2026, applies only to districts that qualify for but decline the federal program. It does not change the federal program itself, only mandates transparency about participation decisions.
