AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to collaborate with the STEM Investment Council to develop standards for awarding high school credits for technology-based competitive student activities. The bill requires a comprehensive review of existing academic content standards, career and technical education requirements, and high school diploma requirements to identify how technology-based competitive student activities can be used to earn academic credits. The recommended standards must specify the maximum number of credits students can earn through such activities, ensure these activities can qualify for career and technical education grants, provide access to school district resources like facilities and equipment, and establish a process for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to approve these activities. The ODE and STEM Investment Council must submit a report summarizing their review and recommendations to the State Board of Education and legislative education committees by February 28, 2026. The provisions of the bill will automatically expire on June 30, 2026, and the bill will take effect 91 days after the 2025 legislative session adjourns.
