Senate Bill No. 63 amends Section 5-118 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes regarding the meetings of school district boards of education. The bill stipulates that regular meetings must occur on the first Monday of each month or on a day set by the board, and all meetings are to be public. It changes the language to require that the votes of each member "shall" be publicly cast and recorded, rather than "must." Additionally, it specifies that executive sessions are permitted only for certain personnel matters and that any votes or actions taken must also be conducted in public. The bill further clarifies that the board must notify students and their guardians about their entitlement to an executive session concerning expulsion or suspension discussions.

Moreover, the bill increases the stipend for board members in larger school districts from $25 to $190 for each meeting attended, with a cap of four meetings per month. This change applies to districts with an average daily attendance exceeding 15,000 or those with a total population over 100,000, as determined by the last Federal Decennial Census. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
