Paid Maternity Leave

In 2023, the 59th Oklahoma Legislature passed Senate Bill 1121, which supports Paid Maternity Leave to all eligible district employees starting with fiscal year 2023-24.  Pursuant to 70 O.S. Section 6-104.8, the district's reimbursement will be for its employee's compensation and benefits for up to six (6) weeks of maternity leave starting immediately after the birth of the child.

The revised Maternity Leave Application is now open. You can access the application through Single Sign On under State Aid Management System (SAMS). FY 2024 Applications are due by Monday, September 23, 2024.
