Schools; statewide system of student assessments; directing assessments to be administered to certain private school and homeschool students; effective date; emergency.

HB 1255 requires private school students (accredited by Oklahoma's State Board of Education) and homeschool students (using the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit) to take the state's standardized assessments, which currently apply to public school students. The bill mandates these tests be administered at state-certified locations during designated windows, and families claiming the tax credit must repay it if the student skips the required assessments. This expands the existing statewide assessment system - previously limited to public schools - to include students utilizing the tax credit program. The policy directly affects families using the tax credit for private or homeschooling, linking tax benefits to participation in state testing.
