Okla. Stat. tit. 51, § 51-132

coverage.

Upon request of any employee, the board of education of the

school district by which he is employed may withhold two percent

(2%) of the employee's wages paid after December 31, 1954, and, in

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 51. Officers Page 83

the event that any such amounts are so withheld from an employee's

wages, the board of education shall also set aside an equal amount

from school district enrichment funds. All amounts withheld from

employees' salaries or set aside from funds of a school district, as

provided above, shall be held in a special account by the board of

education of such district until it has been determined that the

employees of such school district will or will not be covered by the

Federal Social Security Program.

If it is determined that the employees of the school district

will be covered by the Federal Social Security Program, the board of

education of the school district shall forthwith pay, from funds

withheld or set aside as hereinbefore provided, to the state agency

designated to receive social security contributions of political

subdivisions, an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the wages of

such employees.

If it is determined that the employees of a school district will

not be covered by the Federal Social Security Program, or if no

determination has been made by December 31, 1957, all amounts

withheld from employees' salaries shall forthwith be returned to the

employees from whom they are withheld, and the amounts set aside

from school district funds shall forthwith be replaced in the

General Fund of the school district and made available for financing

the appropriations of the district, but shall not be considered as

income chargeable to the support of the minimum program of the

school district.
