Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-6-101.14: Administrators - Suspension

Whenever the local board of education or the administration of a

school district has reason to believe that cause exists for the

dismissal of an administrator, and when they are of the opinion that

the immediate suspension of an administrator would be in the best

interests of the children in the district, the local board of

education or the superintendent of the school district may suspend

the administrator without notice or hearing. However, the

suspension of the administrator shall not deprive the administrator

of any compensation or other benefits to which he or she would

otherwise be entitled under his or her contract or pursuant to law.

Within ten (10) days' time after such suspension becomes effective,

the local board of education shall initiate proceedings pursuant to

Section 6-102.4 of this title to have the administrator dismissed.

However, in a case involving a criminal charge or indictment, such

suspension may extend to such time as the administrator's case is

finally adjudicated at a trial. Provided, however, such extension

shall not include any appeal process.
