This bill amends Section 6-401 of the Oklahoma Statutes to establish new requirements for electronic or digital communication between school personnel and students. It defines "electronic or digital communication" and clarifies that school personnel must include a student's parent or legal guardian in any such communication, unless the communication is on a school-approved platform related to school matters or if the parent or guardian has opted out. The bill allows parents or guardians to opt out of these communications annually and requires schools to provide training for personnel on these communication requirements.

Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for addressing violations of these communication rules, 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 also includes a provision for emergency exceptions to the communication requirement, with subsequent notification to the parent or guardian. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and declares an emergency for its immediate implementation.
