Summary

The bill expands the Oklahoma State Board of Education to nine members, designating the State Superintendent as chair and setting new appointment processes for the other members. It replaces the Governor’s sole appointment power with a mix of appointments by the Governor, the House Speaker, and the Senate President Pro Tempore, and limits removal to cause rather than at the Governor’s pleasure. The changes also set eligibility, training, and travel reimbursement requirements.
