HB1159

Oklahoma HB1159 modifies intra-district student transfer policies, including capacity limits, sibling preferences, and the basis for denials.

Oklahoma HB1159 amends the state's student transfer policies for intra-district transfers. It mandates that each school district board of education adopt a policy to determine the number of intra-district transfer students the district can accept, based on capacity and other factors. The bill limits intra-district transfers to one per school year, except for reenrollment at the original school. It allows siblings of transfer students to attend the same school if district policy permits, and gives preference to transfers of children of school district employees.
