Oklahoma HB1466 amends school accreditation standards, allowing school districts to request a hearing if they receive a recommendation for deficiency in accreditation. The bill mandates annual evaluations of schools for funding, health and safety, teacher certifications, and governance. It also requires the State Board of Education to assist districts in meeting accreditation standards through nontraditional means. If a school fails to meet accreditation, the State Board of Education must close the school and reassign students to accredited schools.
