Bill No. 410 amends Oklahoma's high school graduation curriculum requirements by introducing Computer Science as an option to fulfill certain science credits. Starting in the 2024-2025 school year, students will be required to complete a minimum of 23 curriculum units, which include specific subjects such as English, mathematics, laboratory science, history, and citizenship skills, along with pathway units aligned with their Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP). The bill also updates statutory language to clarify definitions related to educational standards and emphasizes the importance of rigorous subject matter across various disciplines, including health and physical education.

Additionally, the bill mandates that students entering the eighth grade in the 2026-2027 school year must earn one unit in a State Department of Education-approved Computer Science course or an industry-aligned career and technology education course. This Computer Science unit can also satisfy other graduation requirements. The legislation outlines the responsibilities of the State Board of Education and local school districts in maintaining academic standards and allows for various course types, including internet-based and vocational-technical courses, to count towards graduation. It also includes provisions for students denied a diploma to re-enroll and complete necessary requirements, and mandates the inclusion of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence in the curriculum. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
