Senate Bill No. 245 establishes the Oklahoma High Dosage Tutoring Program, which aims to provide targeted tutoring in mathematics and reading for small groups of students, defined as cohorts of no more than four. The program mandates that high dosage tutors, employed or contracted by participating public school districts, conduct at least three thirty-minute tutoring sessions each week throughout a semester. To incentivize performance, the bill outlines bonus structures for tutors, including $1,600 for each cohort they educate per semester and an additional $1,000 for each academic grade level increase in English language arts or mathematics achieved by students within a cohort over the academic year.

The bill also introduces a probationary period for tutors who do not achieve at least a half-grade level of growth in their students during their first year in the program. If they fail to meet this requirement while on probation, they will lose their eligibility to participate in the program. Additionally, a High Dosage Tutoring Revolving Fund is created within the State Treasury to support the program, funded by various sources such as gifts, grants, and state appropriations. The State Board of Education is authorized to promulgate rules for the program's implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause for immediate enforcement upon passage and approval.
