Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-4515: Public hearing

Prior to implementing a continuous school program in any school

of the district, the school district's board of education shall

consult in good faith in an effort to reach agreement with the

employees of the school, with the parents of pupils who would be

affected by the change, and with the community at large. Such

consultation shall include at least one public hearing for which the

board has given adequate notice to the employees and to the parents

of pupils affected.

In school districts where a continuous school program is

implemented in fewer than all of the schools maintained by the

school district, the board of education of such a school district

shall make every reasonable effort to assign employees who prefer

the regular school schedule to schools of the same level retaining

the regular school schedule.

The board of education of any school district operating pursuant

to the provisions of this chapter shall divide the students of each

selected school into as many groups as necessary to adequately

accommodate a continuous school program so established and

conducted. Students of the same family shall be placed in the same

group unless one or more of such students is enrolled in a special

education class or unless the parent or guardian of such students

requests that the students be placed in different groups.
