Okla. Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-1-4-708: Deprivation based on repeated absence from school

A. In cases where the child has been adjudicated to be deprived

due to repeated absence from school, the court may order counseling

and treatment for the child and the parents.

B. Prior to final disposition, the court shall require

verification by the appropriate school district that the child found

to be truant has been evaluated for literacy, learning disabilities,

developmental disabilities, hearing and visual impairment, and other

impediments which could constitute an educational handicap. The

results of such assessments or evaluations shall be made available

to the court for use by the court in determining the disposition of

the case.

C. No child who has been adjudicated deprived upon the basis of

noncompliance with the mandatory school attendance law alone may be

placed in a public or private institutional facility or be removed

from the custody of the lawful parent, legal guardian, or custodian

of the child.

D. A deprived adjudication based solely upon repeated absence

from school shall not constitute a ground for termination of

parental rights.
