π Oklahoma parents and educators β there is something you need to know about this school year.
In February 2026, Governor Kevin Stitt signed Rain's Law β House Bill 1484 β into law. It passed the Oklahoma Senate unanimously.
Rain's Law requires Oklahoma schools to provide instruction on fentanyl abuse prevention and drug poisoning awareness for students in grades 6 through 12. Schools may partner with approved organizations or trained individuals to deliver the instruction.
The law is named for Rain Reece β a 19-year-old Cameron University student who died in 2023 after taking what she believed was an anxiety medication. The medical examiner confirmed she had taken a Xanax laced with fentanyl β a single pill containing two and a half times the minimum lethal dose of the drug. She was found in her dorm room the next morning, her schoolwork still open on her computer.

Her mother, Karla Carlock, fought for this law so that no other family would have to receive that call.
Rep. Ronny Johns, the bill's House author, said the idea came to him when he and his family reflected on how many of his former students had died from fentanyl overdoses during his more than three decades as an educator and principal.

Every Oklahoma school district is now required to teach this. And the law specifically allows schools to partner with qualified organizations to deliver the instruction.
KEY Choices is already in Oklahoma classrooms doing exactly this β covering fentanyl, opioids, alcohol, ma*****na, and va**ng for students in grades 6 through 12, at no cost to the school.
If your district is figuring out how to meet this requirement, we would love to talk.
