HB 1758 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Virtual charter schools; allowing statewide virtual charter schools that reach certain assessment achievements to receive additional funds for certain expenses; effective date; emergency.

HB 1758 would provide Oklahoma virtual charter schools with $100,000 annually if their academic performance is within 10 points of the state average on the Oklahoma State Report Card. Schools meeting this threshold could use the funds for facility costs, student testing, transportation, or student services. Funding is based on academic data from two years prior (e.g., 2022-2023 scores determine 2025 funding) and is in addition to existing district funding. The bill requires available state funds and takes effect July 1, 2025.
