Built-in compliance for staff-minor communication transparency laws.
Oklahoma HB 3958
What is HB 3958?
Oklahoma House Bill 3958 (2024) requires that when school personnel communicate electronically with students, a parent or guardian must be included in the communication.
This law recognizes what we've known all along: transparency protects everyone—children, staff, and organizations.

Beyond Compliance: Best Practice
Even in states without specific legislation, Communiti's transparency features represent industry best practice for organizations working with minors.
Major insurance providers, child safety organizations, and legal experts increasingly recommend:
- All staff-minor communication should be documented
- Parents/guardians should have visibility into electronic communications
- Two-adult rules should apply to digital spaces, not just physical ones
Communiti makes these best practices automatic, not optional.
