Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-1210.556: Internet homework tutoring chatrooms – Pilot

projects.

A. The State Board of Education shall solicit proposals for,

and if funds are available, make grants to local boards of education

for the establishment of pilot projects that would aid in the

development of Internet homework tutoring chatrooms. The proposals

for the Internet chatrooms shall create a mechanism that will allow

students to contact and interact with teachers or other

professionals when they are not at school, when the student needs

assistance with courses or homework. Funding may cover the cost of

equipment, materials, personnel, and any other start-up costs of

developing the Internet chatrooms. Projects may involve entire

districts, combinations of districts, combinations of schools, or

elements of schools individually or in combination.

B. The State Board of Education shall determine pilot project

criteria and establish a process for the consideration of proposals.

Such proposals for pilot projects shall be considered on a statewide

competitive basis. The Board is authorized to promulgate rules for

the operation of such projects.
