The Oklahoma Math Achievement and Proficiency Act is designed to improve mathematics instruction for students in grades two through five by implementing a structured framework for screening and intervention. The Act mandates that all students in these grades undergo screening for math proficiency at the beginning, middle, and end of each school year using State Board of Education-approved instruments. Students identified as needing support will receive a tailored intervention plan developed by a student math proficiency team, which includes parents and educators. The Act also emphasizes the importance of professional development for teachers in scientifically based math instruction methods and includes provisions for notifying parents about their child's math proficiency levels.

Additionally, the bill introduces summer academy programs to help students achieve grade-level competencies and outlines a phased expansion of requirements to include first-grade and kindergarten students. It mandates the integration of mathematics competencies into teacher training programs and the development of screening processes for dyscalculia. The legislation establishes a Statewide Mathematics Revolving Fund to support these initiatives and requires annual reporting on program effectiveness. Furthermore, it amends existing educational laws to enhance student performance evaluation and reporting, particularly in reading and mathematics, and mandates the State Board of Education to submit an annual report on student demographics in advanced and intervention mathematics courses starting December 15, 2026. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
