Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-1210.903: Parental notification of proficiency level — Summer

academy programs.

A. If a teacher determines that a student in second, third,

fourth, and fifth grade is performing above grade level in

mathematics by the start of the second quarter of the school year,

the parent or legal guardian of the student shall be notified of:

1. The math proficiency level of the student;

2. The program of advanced math instruction available for the

student; and

3. The potential for the student to participate in a summer

academy or other program designed to assist the student in excelling

in mathematics.

B. If a teacher determines that a student in second, third,

fourth, and fifth grade is not performing at grade level in

mathematics by the start of the second quarter of the school year,

the parent or legal guardian of the student shall be notified of:

1. The math proficiency level of the student;

2. The program of math instruction for the student as required

pursuant to this act; and

3. The potential need for the student to participate in a

summer academy or other program designed to assist the student in

attaining grade-level math proficiency.

C. A teacher who determines a student in second, third, fourth,

and fifth grade is exceeding or not meeting grade-level targets for

mathematics may, after consultation with the parent or legal

guardian of the student, recommend that the student participate in

and complete a summer academy or other program.

D. Summer academy programs shall be designed to ensure that

participating students successfully complete an advanced

mathematical program or grade-level competencies in mathematics to

enhance next-grade readiness. A summer academy math program shall

be a program that incorporates the content of a scientifically

research-based professional development program administered by the

Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability or a

scientifically research-based math program administered by the State

Board of Education which is taught by teachers who have successfully

completed professional development in the math program. All summer

academy programs shall consist of a minimum of three (3) consecutive

days. The State Department of Education shall provide a list of

qualified entities for providing the summer academy programs to all

schools by April 1, 2026.

E. School districts may approve an option for students who are

unable to attend a summer academy. The optional program may

include, but not be limited to, an approved private provider of

instruction, approved computer- or Internet-based instruction, or an

approved program of math instruction monitored by the parent or

legal guardian of the student. Public school districts shall not be

required to pay for the optional program but shall clearly

communicate to the parent or legal guardian the expectations of the

program and any costs that may be involved.

F. Subject to the availability of funds, beginning one (1) year

after implementation of this section, the requirements of subsection

C of this section may be expanded to apply to students in first

grade. Each year thereafter, the requirements may be expanded by

one grade level until the requirements apply to kindergarten

students through fifth-grade students. Summer academy programs

shall be designed for each grade level. Nothing in this section

shall prevent the State Board of Education or a school district

board of education from utilizing private, local, or federal funds

to implement the provisions of this section.

G. The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules to

implement the provisions of this section, which shall include

requirements for instructional time for summer academy programs,

teacher qualifications, and evaluation of student achievement as a

result of summer academy programs or other optional programs.
