Okla. Admin. Code § 210:1-3-13 - Publications
(a) The Board encourages the publication of
information that will be of service to schools in expediting the
teaching-learning processes. Such publications may be printed with Department
printing facilities, State Central Printing, or by contract, whichever is most
feasible.
(b) Local school
representatives should be involved in the development of the Department
publications. Specialists from teacher-training institutions should also be
used as consultants when appropriate.
(c) Curriculum materials and guides should
supplement and enrich local programs of instruction and serve as examples of
resources available for learning if local needs are to be fully
addressed.
(d) In accordance with
State law anything that is written (whatever the form) and released outside the
Department is considered a state publication. Covers for such publications must
include:
(1) name of publication,
(2) Oklahoma State Department of Education,
name of the State Superintendent, and
(3) the date of publication. The cover may
also include identifying characteristics of the publication or pertinent art
work that enhances the appearance of such publication. [65-3-113.2]
(e) No person's name shall appear
on the front cover, except that of the State Superintendent. All other
information-author, acknowledgements, division, subdivision, title, date, and
place of publication-may be added to the title (or second) page.
(f) Handouts and other informally
disseminated materials should meet one of two requirements:
(1) If the materials are prepared, produced,
or generated by State Department of Education (SDE) staff, "Oklahoma State
Department of Education, and the name of the State Superintendent" must appear
on the front page.
(2) If the
materials were not prepared, produced, or generated by SDE staff, then no SDE
identification or staff name should appear on the material. All such material
to be distributed by SDE staff must comply with copyright laws and be approved
by the section administrator before being reproduced and distributed.
(g) Publications, handouts, media
productions, or other materials which bear SDE identification but contain
quotations, extracts, speeches, graphics, or presentations made by others,
should contain a disclaimer statement. Although highly rated, possibly
contracted by the Department for the purpose, and approved by the section
administrator, such material may be susceptible of interpretation as being in
conflict with State Board policy, procedures, rules, or regulations, and would
therefore need a disclaimer.
(h)
The disclaimer shall consist of a separate paragraph inserted near the front of
the production essentially conforming to one of the following statements:
(1) The content of this material does not
necessarily reflect the official views of the Oklahoma State Department of
Education.
(2) This work was
developed under a contract from (or in cooperation with) the Oklahoma
Department of Education. However, the content does not necessarily reflect the
position or policy of his agency and no official endorsement of these materials
should be inferred.
