Summary

HB 3021 sets a statewide, mandatory 23‑unit curriculum for all Oklahoma students in grades eight through twelve starting in the 2025‑26 school year, with an optional pathway for students who obtain parental approval. It creates a panel to review nonstandard course waivers, requires certain courses to be taught by certified teachers, and directs the Workforce Commission and the State Department of Education to develop a catalog of business‑endorsed diplomas. The changes affect public‑school students, school districts, teachers, and the state agencies that oversee curriculum and graduation requirements.
