Schools; phasing in a reduction to the maximum number of students allowed per class in kindergarten through fifth grades; exceptions; effective date; emergency.

Summary

Starting in the 2026‑27 school year, Oklahoma will gradually reduce the number of students allowed in K‑5 classrooms and require a teacher's assistant when classes exceed the new limits. Districts that keep classes larger than allowed after the first nine weeks may lose a portion of their state funding unless they meet exemption criteria. The changes aim to improve student‑teacher interaction and support for schools with higher‑need populations.
