Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program

Official statutory text

A. The Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability

shall establish an Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program. The

purpose of the Program shall be to develop and implement a system of

measures whereby the performance of public schools and school

districts is assessed and reported without undue reliance upon any

single type of indicator, and whereby the public, including students

and parents, may be made aware of the proper meaning and use of any

tests administered under the Oklahoma School Testing Program Act,

relative accomplishments of the public schools, and of progress

being achieved. The Commission shall involve representatives of

school teachers and of school administrators in the development of

the Program. The Program shall be so designed that use of

standardized definitions and measures and opportunities for

coordination with national reports, including those of the National

Assessment of Educational Progress, are maximized.

B. The Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program shall present

information for comparisons of graduation rates, dropout rates,

pupil-teacher ratios, student enrollment gain and loss rates, and

test results in the contexts of socioeconomic status and the

finances of school districts. Information shall be provided

individually for all public school sites and school districts in a

format that facilitates comparisons. As necessary data become

available, comparisons shall also be provided individually for all

schools and school districts on a historical basis. Reports of all

tests administered pursuant to the Oklahoma School Testing Program

Act shall be a part of the Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program

and shall be provided for each grade and each test subject or set of

competencies. Test results for students enrolled in Internet-based

courses, including regularly enrolled and alternative education

students, shall be disaggregated and reported. The Commission for

Educational Quality and Accountability shall seek to develop and

incorporate additional indicators of comparative standing and

accomplishment.

C. Additionally, the Commission for Educational Quality and

Accountability, with the cooperation of the State Department of

Education, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, and the

State Board of Career and Technology Education, shall develop

procedures for obtaining and reporting data to the high schools and

to the general public regarding the performance of each high

school's graduates in Oklahoma's institutions of higher education

and in postsecondary vocational-technical education. The Commission

for Educational Quality and Accountability shall include such data

in the report of the Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program.

D. By February 1 of each year the Commission for Educational

Quality and Accountability shall publish:

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 70. Schools Page 1255

1. A summary report to the people and Legislature of Oklahoma

of the information provided by the Oklahoma Educational Indicators

Program; and

2. State, district, and site level reports which shall include

the percentage of students who perform at the various levels on the

tests required by the Oklahoma State Testing Program.

Immediately following the publication of the reports required in

this subsection each year, all data gathered pursuant to the

Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program shall be made available for

public inspection at the Office of Educational Quality and

Accountability. The confidentiality of individual student records

shall be preserved as required by law.
