This bill amends the definition of "per-pupil expenditure" in Oklahoma's education law by expanding the categories of expenditures included in the calculation. The new definition will now encompass not only the aggregate current expenditures from all funding sources but also specific instructional services provided by school district staff, career and technology education programs, and concurrent classes that meet graduation requirements. Additionally, the bill updates the numbering of the categories of expenditures, ensuring clarity in the reporting of these costs.

The bill also clarifies that aggregate current expenditures will exclude costs related to adult and community education, facilities acquisition and construction, debt services, and other non-operational expenses. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, and an emergency clause is included to ensure the bill is enacted immediately upon passage and approval, emphasizing the urgency of the updates for the public's benefit.
