Oklahoma Constitution; school attendance requirement; United States citizens; ballot title; filing.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Oklahoma's school attendance law, changing the requirement from applying to "all children" to applying only to "state resident United States citizens" or children specifically authorized by state law. It would amend Section 4 of Article XIII of the Oklahoma Constitution to specify that compulsory school attendance (for children aged 8-16, unless alternative education is provided) applies solely to U.S. citizen children or those legally required by state law. The amendment would exclude non-citizen children from the mandatory school attendance requirement, shifting the scope of who must attend school within Oklahoma. This is a procedural resolution directing the Secretary of State to place the proposed constitutional change on the ballot for voter approval.
