Bill No. 410, introduced by Senators Stanley and Lowe, amends Oklahoma's high school graduation curriculum requirements by incorporating Computer Science as an option to meet certain science credits. Starting with the 2024-2025 school year, students will need to complete a specified number of units across various subjects, including English, mathematics, laboratory science, history, and fine arts, to qualify for a standard diploma. The bill also allows students to fulfill graduation requirements through a career and technology program that leads to an industry credential or college credit. Additionally, it mandates the State Board of Education to establish rules for implementing these changes and outlines the competencies students must achieve in each subject area.

The legislation further specifies 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 covering foundational computer science. This Computer Science unit can also satisfy one of the existing unit requirements in other subjects. The bill clarifies definitions related to educational methodologies and course types, updates terminology from "Individualized" to "Individual" Career and Academic Plan (ICAP), and emphasizes the importance of rigorous academic standards. It also allows for various course types, including internet-based and vocational-technical courses, to count towards graduation, and provides pathways for students who have been denied a diploma to re-enroll and complete their requirements. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
