Some members were recorded as voting without recommendation or in the negative on certain measures, including Senators Helming, O'Mara, and Askey on the reproductive health care funding bill.
The meeting concluded with thanks to committee members and staff, and the chair announced that this completed the session’s agenda.

- They have a contract with the state already, so we just need to decide what's in the statement of work
Summary:
The meeting was called to order after the chair announced compliance with the Open Meeting Act and confirmed a quorum. Members then voted to enter executive session under 25 O.S. 307(B)(1) to discuss personnel matters involving salaried positions. After returning to open session, the body voted to accept Kyla’s resignation and end the severance package.
The group then went back into executive session to discuss additional agenda items, later returning to open session and voting to withdraw the request for RIFs. Members also discussed re-engaging 9-29 to help sort out next interim steps and develop a long-term plan. It was noted that 9-29 already has a state contract, and a statement of work had been requested.
The body voted to approve re-engaging 9-29 and authorized the chair to work with Melissa to finalize the statement of work, with the draft to be shared for feedback before completion. The meeting concluded with expressions of thanks and adjournment.

Common Education REVISION 3: SB1410 - Link added Apr 1st, 2026
Transcript Highlights:
- clarifies that this is for evaluation purposes only, not for determining if or when a teacher is given a contract
Summary:
The committee met briefly with a quorum present and considered four bills. SB 843, presented as a constituent request from northwest Oklahoma, would raise from 400 to 500 the average daily membership threshold for school districts exempt from a law restricting school board service by relatives of board members or school employees; it received a 10-0 do pass recommendation. SB 1410 would place the long-running “Ag in the Classroom” program into statute to preserve it going forward; members asked why statutory placement was needed, and the bill passed 11-0.
SB 1317, with a proposed committee substitute adopted as the working draft, would allow experienced teachers to carry career teacher status to a new district if the receiving district approves, clarifying that the status is for evaluation purposes only and not tenure or contract decisions; it passed 11-0. SB 1338 would make the literacy teams program permanent rather than a pilot, and members confirmed it did not add coaches but removed the pilot status; it passed 10-1. All four bills were reported out as do pass recommendations.

Summary:
The House convened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, approved the previous day’s journal by a 126-0 vote, and suspended business for the Speaker to sign several bills and substitutes. Members then spent much of the day introducing guests, including county assessors, students, civic groups, and visitors from local schools and universities.
The chamber then took up House Bill 2002, the elementary and secondary education budget. Members adopted several amendments, including technical fixes to allow board-operated schools to use personal service funds for career ladder payments, clarifications to child care subsidy language, and changes to Parents as Teachers rules so that enrollment remains voluntary and virtual visits are not reimbursable. An amendment to shift $1 million from one child care facilities line to Child Care Works passed, as did an amendment to fund a new Success-Ready Student Assessment with $2 million to help replace the MAP test. A proposal to pay child care subsidies for foster children based on enrollment rather than attendance failed 53-93, and an amendment to divert $10 million in Title I funds into a competitive grant program also failed. A later amendment to send budget reports to the ranking minority member passed, while an attempt to remove child care subsidy language from the bill failed.
The House then moved to higher education and workforce development appropriations. Members approved an amendment broadening a pre-apprenticeship program statewide and supported funding for Coyote Hill Foster Care Ministries through a transfer from dual credit scholarship funds. The most extensive debate centered on House Bill 2003’s higher education funding model, where the chair defended an FTE-based approach as more transparent than the long-standing status quo, while opponents warned it would sharply cut funding for institutions such as Harris-Stowe, Lincoln, Truman State, and some community colleges, and would ignore factors like graduation rates, research, and workforce needs. A compromise amendment to soften the transition was withdrawn, and a separate amendment to restore the governor’s recommendation was also debated at length, with members arguing over the fairness and consequences of the proposed model.
