Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
$5,000 bonus for National Board teachers
Beginning July 1, 2026, teachers who earn or keep National Board Certification get a $5,000 bonus each year for up to five years. You must work for an Oklahoma public school district and keep your certification. You must submit proof to the State Department of Education; each year’s payment is due no later than January 31. The bonus is paid from the Teacher Empowerment Revolving Fund. It is extra pay that does not count toward district salary schedules or Teachers’ Retirement System benefits.
Growth pay pilot for select teachers
Beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, the state runs a Growth‑Based Teacher Compensation pilot for at least three years. It is for full‑time, certified grades 4–8 English or math teachers in participating public or charter schools, with about 1,500 top teachers selected. Recognized teachers get yearly bonuses based only on student growth on state tests using a two‑year value‑added method. Teachers are placed into three tiers: 95th percentile or higher; 90th–94th; and 85th–89th statewide. Payments come from the Teacher Empowerment Revolving Fund and may be adjusted to stay within funding. The money is supplemental, does not count toward district salary schedules or Teachers’ Retirement System benefits, and districts are not liable.
Faster, fuller school and jobs data
Beginning July 1, 2026, the education commission adds workforce outcomes to school reports, including college enrollment, credentials, jobs, and earnings as data become available. State education, higher‑ed, career‑tech, labor agencies, and contractors must send required data to the commission within 30 days of availability. The State Board of Education must require test vendors to send results directly to the commission at the same time as the Department of Education. These data are public under the Open Records Act, while student privacy stays protected by law. The commission may hire outside experts and use federal or private grants to process and publish the data.
