The bill amends Oklahoma's education laws to revise high school graduation requirements and subject matter standards. It establishes a new curriculum for students in grades eight through twelve, effective from the 2025-2026 school year, which includes a college preparatory/work ready curriculum consisting of twenty-three units across various subjects. The bill allows for optional completion of these requirements with parental approval for certain students and clarifies that specific graduation pathways will not be available to students not enrolled in public high schools prior to this date. It also updates acceptable competencies for English requirements, introduces applied knowledge requirements, and combines sections related to diploma requirements for students in the Oklahoma Alternate Assessment Program.

Additionally, the bill creates a panel to review nonstandard course waivers and mandates that academic and vocational-technical courses be taught by certified teachers. It requires school districts to provide information about the Horizon Digitally Enhanced Campus Program and outlines the development of a catalog of business labor force-endorsed diplomas by the Workforce Commission and the Department. The legislation also includes provisions for exceptions to graduation requirements for children of military families, emphasizes personal financial literacy, and allows for alternative pathways for students who may not meet the standard curriculum requirements. Overall, the bill aims to enhance educational standards and better prepare students for college and career opportunities.
