This bill amends Section 6-401 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance the regulations surrounding electronic or digital communications between school personnel and students. It mandates that when school personnel communicate with an individual student, they must include the student's parent, guardian, or an alternate adult if the student is homeless. The alternate adult can be a school administrator, the McKinney-Vento homeless liaison, or a case manager from a relevant support organization. Exceptions to this requirement are allowed in emergencies, with subsequent notification to the appropriate adult.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the use of school-approved communication platforms that facilitate the automatic inclusion of parents or alternate adults in these communications. It also establishes a protocol for addressing violations of these communication requirements, including placing personnel on administrative leave during investigations. If misconduct is found, disciplinary actions may be taken, including termination and reporting to law enforcement. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
