The bill establishes a new pilot program authorized by the Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, aimed at providing high-dosage mathematics tutoring specifically for the lowest performing ninth-grade students. This initiative will target students identified through the required eighth-grade mathematics assessment, as outlined in existing law. The 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 is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause, indicating its immediate necessity for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety. This provision ensures that the program can be initiated promptly following its passage and approval.
