The bill amends Section 6-401 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance the framework for electronic or digital communications between students and school personnel, particularly focusing on students identified as homeless. It introduces the definition of "alternate adult," which refers to a case manager or designated employee from specific support programs assigned to a homeless student. The bill mandates that before including an alternate adult in communications, the school must ensure written verification that the student's parent or legal guardian has been informed and given an opportunity to object. Additionally, the alternate adult is required to notify the school of any significant changes in the student's circumstances.

Furthermore, the bill updates the definitions of "student" and "school personnel," and emphasizes the inclusion of parents, legal guardians, or alternate adults in communications unless conducted on a school-approved platform. It also outlines exceptions for emergencies and mandates training for school personnel on these communication requirements. Violations of the communication protocols will lead to administrative leave for the involved personnel during investigations, with potential disciplinary actions based on the findings.
