Official statutory text
A. The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules by which
a person who holds a valid Oklahoma Standard Teaching Certificate
may satisfy requirements for renewal of the Standard Teaching
Certificate by completing staff development programs, conferences
and seminars in lieu of teaching experience or higher education
credits required by the State Board of Education for certificate
renewal. Only programs, conferences and seminars recognized for

of Education shall not require more staff development credit to be
earned for certificate renewal than the Board requires teachers and
administrators to earn pursuant to Section 6-158 of Title 70 of the
Oklahoma Statutes.
B. District boards of education may charge a reasonable fee for
a holder of a valid Oklahoma Standard Teaching Certificate who is
not employed as a teacher or administrator in an Oklahoma public
school to attend district-sponsored staff development programs or
seminars.
