This bill amends 70 O.S. 2021, Section 1210.508, to expand the statewide system of student assessments to include private school and homeschool students starting in the 2025-2026 school year. It mandates that these students, who are either enrolled in accredited private schools or educated through other means as defined by law and for whom a tax credit has been claimed under the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act, must complete the required assessments at a state-certified testing facility during designated assessment windows. If a student does not complete the assessments, the taxpayer who claimed the tax credit must repay it to the Oklahoma Tax Commission within 60 days after the assessment window closes.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the State Board of Education to set rules regarding the assessment window dates and to ensure timely reporting of assessment results. It emphasizes the importance of measuring academic competencies in alignment with the Oklahoma Academic Standards and mandates that assessment results be disaggregated by various demographic factors. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and declares an emergency for its immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
