This bill establishes a new section in the Oklahoma Statutes that outlines specific rights for teachers, administrators, and support staff within school districts, public charter schools, and public virtual charter schools. The rights include the freedom of religious expression, protection from abusive language and physical harm, the ability to maintain classroom discipline, and the right to a safe working environment. Additionally, it grants rights related to medical privacy, planning time, lunch breaks, and the ability to report complaints and petition for policy modifications. A significant component of the bill is the requirement for school boards to create a due process plan to address violations of these rights, ensuring that reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly.

The bill also mandates that the due process plan includes provisions for anonymous reporting, timely investigations, and procedures for addressing false accusations. It emphasizes the importance of protecting the rights of educators while maintaining a safe and respectful educational environment. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
