OK HB3702

Increases minimum school year from 181 days to 185 days, or from 1,086 hours to 1,110 hours of classroom instruction, effective with the 2026-2027 school year

Prohibits school districts from counting professional meetings and parent-teacher conferences toward required classroom instruction time (previously up to 30 hours of professional meetings and 12 hours of conferences could be counted)

Limits virtual instruction days to a maximum of 2 days (12 hours) per year that can count toward instruction requirements, and only during Governor-declared emergencies with an approved virtual instruction plan

Requires districts using virtual instruction days to submit plans to the Superintendent of Public Instruction by November 1, 2025, addressing technology infrastructure, IEP student instruction, child nutrition services, and transportation for technology center students

Updates references throughout Oklahoma education statutes to reflect the new 185-day/1,110-hour requirements, including provisions for reading and math proficiency screenings, remediation programs, and year-round school calendars
