House Bill No. 1287 authorizes the Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma to establish a pilot program aimed at providing high-dosage mathematics tutoring specifically for the lowest performing ninth-grade students, as identified by the eighth-grade mathematics assessment. This program will be implemented in public high schools located in districts with an enrollment of 30,000 students or more, as well as in public charter schools established under the Oklahoma Charter School Act.
The bill includes provisions for codification and specifies that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. Additionally, it declares an emergency, allowing the act to be enforced immediately upon passage and approval, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the educational needs of struggling students in mathematics.
