Alternative education; directing the statewide system of alternative education to include designated charter schools and virtual charter schools. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 514 expands Oklahoma's statewide alternative education system to include designated charter and virtual schools. School districts serving grades 7-12 must offer programs meeting specific standards like individualized instruction, life skills training, and small class sizes, and may use virtual or blended learning. Designated charter and virtual schools must follow performance frameworks and attendance policies. Funding is based on student enrollment, with an additional 15% incentive for districts collaborating on alternative education services.
