A. As used in this section, "educational management organization" means a for-profit or nonprofit organization that receives public funds to provide administration and management services for a charter school, statewide virtual charter school or traditional public school.
B. A charter school that contracts with an educational management organization shall use the Oklahoma Cost Accounting System (OCAS) to report the total amount paid to an educational management organization as well as itemized expenditure information for the goods or services provided by the management organization as defined by OCAS expenditure codes, including the total compensation package of the superintendent including the base salary, insurance, retirement and other fringe benefits.
C. Any owner of an educational management organization shall be required to disclose to the governing board of the school in a public meeting any ownership position in any business that contracts or proposes to contract with the same public school that the educational management organization is managing.
D. Whenever any person shall enter into a contract with any school district or public charter school in the state to teach in such school district or public charter school the contract shall be binding on the teacher and on the board of education until the teacher legally has been discharged from the teaching position or released by the board of education from the contract. Except as provided in Section 5-106A of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, until such teacher has been thus discharged or released, the teacher shall not have authority to enter into a contract with any other board of education in Oklahoma for the same time covered by the original contract. If upon written complaint by the board of education in a district any teacher is reported to have failed to obey the terms of the contract previously made and to have entered into a contract with another board of education, including a public charter school board of education, without having been released from the former contract except as provided in Section 5-106A of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the teacher, upon being found to be employed full-time for another public school, including a public charter school in the state, at a hearing held before the State Board of Education, shall have such teacher's certificate suspended for the remainder of the term for which the contract was made.
