Paid bereavement leave for school staff

Beginning July 1, 2026, Oklahoma school districts must give teachers and support staff three paid days after the death of a spouse or child. Miscarriage counts, and these three days are on top of any sick leave used for recovery. Local contracts can still offer more. The State Board of Education can reimburse districts for these costs from the state revolving fund for paid maternity and bereavement leave.
