The bill amends Section 11-103.6 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance high school curriculum requirements by mandating the inclusion of computer science education. Starting with students entering the eighth grade in the 2026-2027 school year, they must complete one unit of computer science or an industry-aligned Career and Technical Education course to graduate. The bill allows computer science courses to fulfill other graduation requirements and requires the State Department of Education to develop rules regarding emerging computer science technologies. Additionally, it introduces a one-year career tech program to the science course requirements and emphasizes the importance of preparing students for active citizenship, employment, and postsecondary education.

The legislation also includes several key amendments, such as requiring instruction in the foundations of computer science approved by the State Board of Education and defining terms like "contextual methodology" and "qualified agricultural education courses." It mandates that all levels of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Computer Science include instruction on fundamental concepts of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence. The bill ensures that academic rigor is maintained while allowing flexibility at the district level in course offerings. Provisions are included for students with individualized education programs and those completing the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program to receive standard diplomas. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
