HB 2156 Summary

• Amends Oklahoma's student competency standards to permit world language instruction to be counted as a set of competencies for high school graduation requirements.

• In the core curriculum (subsection D), students may satisfy one elective unit requirement with either computer technology or one unit of foreign or non-English language instruction.

• Allows flexibility in how schools deliver instruction through "sets of competencies" rather than requiring fixed instructional time, enabling alternative teaching methodologies and online courses.

• Effective July 1, 2018.
