Oklahoma SB698 modifies class size limitations and penalties for exceeding them in public schools.

Oklahoma SB698 amends class size limitations and penalties for exceeding them in public schools. It specifies that no child in kindergarten through third grade can be assigned to a class with more than 20 students, and no child in fourth through sixth grade can be assigned to a class with more than 20 students. It exempts certain classes, like physical education and fine arts, from these limitations. If a school district exceeds these limits after the first nine weeks of the school year, it faces penalties, including a reduction in state aid.
