SB 454 modifies Oklahoma's school accountability system by updating how schools are graded based on test scores, graduation rates, and other metrics. It changes grade descriptions (e.g., "C" now means "satisfactory progress" instead of "less than satisfactory") and requires schools to include specific measures supporting learning outside school, like parent engagement strategies. The bill also mandates that school-based social support services - such as counseling, health care access, and family support - be part of accountability reporting. It removes the option for virtual charter schools to use alternative accountability systems and ensures at least 70% of a school’s grade comes from academic metrics like test scores. The changes affect all Oklahoma public schools participating in the state’s grading system.
