This bill amends the high school graduation requirements in Oklahoma by updating Section 11-103.6 of Title 70 to include Computer Science as an option for fulfilling certain science requirements. Starting in the 2024-2025 school year, students will be required to complete a specific set of competencies to graduate with a standard diploma. The legislation clarifies definitions related to critical thinking and Euclidean geometry, emphasizes personal financial literacy, and encourages the completion of units in world languages and physical education. It also outlines the necessary units across various subjects while allowing flexibility in course selection, particularly mandating that students entering eighth grade in the 2025-2026 school year complete one unit in Computer Science.

Additionally, the bill introduces new definitions, such as "Pathway unit" and "Qualified agricultural education courses," and requires the State Board of Education to develop a joint plan to maintain academic rigor. It mandates that students in grades nine through twelve enroll in a minimum of six rigorous academic or vocational courses daily and allows for credit to be earned for courses taken before ninth grade if taught by certified teachers. The bill also provides options for competency-based graduation and ensures that students with individualized education programs (IEPs) can meet requirements through tailored plans. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
