Bill overview
This bill proposes to change how school superintendents are elected in Oklahoma. Instead of being appointed by a school board, superintendents would be elected by voters in a general election. The bill outlines specific procedures for these elections, including filing requirements, candidate eligibility rules (prohibiting relatives of board members from running), and how vacancies would be handled. It also addresses multi-district agreements for shared superintendents and clarifies the duties and responsibilities of elected superintendents, while amending existing laws related to board governance and superintendent contracts.
