School elections; prohibiting persons engaged in certain activities from being eligible to be a candidate for school district or technology center school district board of education.

SB 1200 requires candidates for school district or technology center school board positions in Oklahoma to hold a high school diploma or equivalent. It also prohibits individuals with a 5% or greater ownership stake in companies involved in school bond issuance or facility construction from running for or serving on these boards. The bill affects all current and prospective school board candidates statewide by adding these eligibility requirements to existing residency and voter registration rules. These changes apply to candidates filing after the bill's effective date.
