Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how special education teachers are paid in Oklahoma. It increases their minimum pay to 10% above other teachers, with half of that increase paid by the state through the Teacher Empowerment Revolving Fund and half by the local school district. The bill also allows the Teacher Empowerment Revolving Fund to be used for special education teacher compensation after funding for advanced teacher certificates is met.
