Okla. Stat. tit. 10, § 10-1633: School district fingerprinting programs

A. Each board of education may develop a fingerprinting program

for students within the district. The principal or chief

administrative officer of a nonpublic school in this state may

develop a fingerprinting program for students of the school. If

developed, the program shall be developed in conjunction with local

law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction within the school

district or where the nonpublic school is located or in conjunction

with any organization providing such services on a voluntary basis.

Such local law enforcement agencies shall cooperate fully with the

board of education or nonpublic school in the development of its

fingerprinting program.

B. Such fingerprinting program shall be developed for the sole

purpose of providing a means by which a missing child might be

located or identified and shall be operated on the following basis:

1. No student shall be required to participate in the program;2. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation shall provide fingerprint cards upon request of any school, organization, or local law enforcement agency

who requests such cards to implement the provisions of the Oklahoma

Minor Identification Act;

3. In order for a student to participate in the program, the

parent, legal guardian, or legal custodian of the student shall

authorize the student's participation by signing a form that shall

be developed for the program by the board of education of a public

school or by the principal or chief administrative officer of the

nonpublic school. No student shall be fingerprinted unless a signed

authorization form is in the possession of school officials;

4. The fingerprinting of students shall be performed by members

of the local law enforcement agencies or members of any organization

volunteering to provide such service;

5. Two copies of a student's fingerprints shall be made. One

copy shall be given to the student's parent, legal guardian, or

legal custodian and one copy shall be retained in the student's

records by the school and transferred with other school records of

the student until the student's eighteenth birthday. The copy of

the student's fingerprints retained by the school shall be destroyed

by such school on the student's eighteenth birthday;

6. The name, sex, hair and eye color, height, weight, and date

and place of birth of the student shall be indicated on the

fingerprint card;

7. The fingerprint card shall include in a conspicuous place on

the card a statement that the card may be used for identification

purposes only and may not be used in any juvenile or criminal

investigation or proceeding conducted against the student. A

fingerprint card prepared pursuant to the Oklahoma Minor

Identification Act may be used by a law enforcement agency only to

help identify a student who is lost, missing, kidnapped, or killed;

and

8. The fingerprinting program developed pursuant to this

section shall be offered on a periodic basis. Parents, legal

guardians, and legal custodians in the districts or in the

communities served by the schools shall be notified at least two (2)

weeks prior to the date set for commencement of the fingerprinting

program. These notifications may be given by means of memoranda or

letters sent to such parents, legal guardians, or legal custodians.
