Summary

HB 3021 rewrites Oklahoma’s graduation standards, requiring all public‑school students to complete a set of 23 competency units—including English, math, science, financial literacy, fine arts, career readiness and life skills—by the end of high school. It creates a college‑ready/career‑ready diploma track that is only available to students already enrolled in a public high school before the 2025‑26 school year, and it adds an alternate diploma for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who participate in the Oklahoma Alternate Assessment Program. The bill also sets up a panel to review nonstandard course waivers and mandates reporting and notification requirements.
