Schools; State Board of Education membership; effective date.

HB 1936 increases the Oklahoma State Board of Education from seven to eleven members. It changes the appointment process: the Governor appoints six members (one from each congressional district and one from the state at large), the House Speaker appoints two (one rural resident and one former superintendent from a district under 10,000 students), and the Senate President appoints two (one rural resident and one former superintendent from a district over 10,000 students). The bill also requires all members to have a high school diploma or equivalent and prohibits serving on a local school board overseen by the State Board. Current board members' terms end on January 25, 2027, with new appointments required within 30 days of that date.
