HB 1285 requires Oklahoma public school districts to list textbooks, library materials, and digital learning content (including social-emotional learning resources) on a new online portal starting in the 2026-2027 school year. The portal must allow parents to search, review, and comment on materials their children might encounter, with features like ISBN tracking and reading-level alignment. School districts must upload this information annually, while the State Department of Education will moderate public comments and oversee the system. The bill mandates these changes to increase parental access to school curricula, effective July 1, 2025.
