HB 1304 requires Oklahoma public high schools to include one year of computer science curriculum as part of graduation requirements for students in grades 8-12 during the 2024-2025 school year. It mandates that students complete two units of computer technology or computer science courses (including programming and business applications like spreadsheets) instead of traditional language requirements. The bill also adds requirements for history/social studies standards to include content from the U.S. naturalization test and emphasizes civics education. These changes apply to students earning standard diplomas under the new curriculum framework.
