Schools; directing the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability to make certain school accreditation determinations until certain date. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 374 temporarily transfers school accreditation authority from Oklahoma's State Department of Education to the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability, effective immediately and lasting until March 31, 2027. During this period, the Commission will make accreditation decisions for schools, manage related reports, and handle contractual obligations, while the State Board of Education resumes these duties after the deadline. The bill directly affects public schools (through accreditation status), the Commission, and the State Board of Education, ensuring continuity in accreditation processes. It updates statutory references to clarify these temporary authority shifts without altering long-term accreditation standards.
