OK HB2734

Students are no longer required to attain proficient or higher scores on end-of-instruction tests to graduate from high school with a standard diploma, though all students must still take the tests.

Students who score below proficient on end-of-instruction tests must be provided remediation and intervention; they may retake each test up to three times per year and have the option to take an alternative assessment approved by the State Board of Education.

Alternative assessment results must be recorded on student transcripts alongside highest-achieved test performance levels.

Third-grade retention for reading deficiency changes from mandatory to optional; students are no longer automatically retained for scoring unsatisfactory on the reading portion of third-grade tests.

Repeals the "demonstrating mastery of state academic content standards" provision and updates language throughout the Reading Sufficiency Act to reflect the optional retention policy.
