State School Aid Is Key
Oklahoma Attorney General Charles Nesbitt ruled that teachers serving in the Oklahoma Legislature cannot be paid by school districts that receive state aid. The opinion says legislators may not benefit from a legislative appropriation within two years, effectively barring teacher-legislators from drawing state aid funds. The ruling opens potential double recovery actions by school boards or voters against districts paying unauthorized salaries. Governor Bellman reacted, promising further study. The opinion could affect 11 teacher-legislators and their districts.
