Supreme Court of Oklahoma
Independent School District No. 12 v. State
June 11, 2024565 P.3d 23
Summary
The Oklahoma Supreme Court assumed original jurisdiction in part and held that Oklahoma statutes grant local school boards the authority to select library books based on local community standards, and that no statute authorizes the State Board of Education or related officials to supervise or control that discretion. Accordingly, the Court issued a writ of prohibition preventing the State Board from enforcing its rules against the Edmond School District and denied the district’s request for declaratory and injunctive relief.
