OK SB707

State Board of Education must develop high school graduation requirements in consultation with the State Regents for Higher Education, Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability, State Board of Career and Technology Education, and Oklahoma Department of Commerce, with recommendations due after new English Language Arts and Mathematics standards are adopted and approved by the Legislature

A high school exit exam must be designated that aligns with state-adopted subject matter standards, with public meetings required to solicit input and consideration of alternative assessments including those required by federal No Child Left Behind Act

Students must demonstrate mastery in Algebra I, English II, and two of five additional subjects (Algebra II, Biology I, English III, Geometry, United States History) to graduate with a standard diploma, with remediation and retake opportunities provided for those who don't initially meet requirements

State Board of Education is prohibited from entering agreements with federal agencies or private entities that cede state control over development, adoption, or revision of subject matter standards and corresponding student assessments

School districts retain exclusive authority to determine instruction, curriculum, reading lists, and instructional materials used to meet subject matter standards, and may adopt supplementary assessments beyond statewide requirements
