Bill > SJR19

This joint resolution disapproves the social studies subject matter standards that were approved by the State Board of Education on February 27, 2025, in accordance with Section 11-103.6a-1 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which requires legislative review of all subject matter standards and revisions adopted by the State Board of Education. The resolution, which was introduced during the 1st Session of the 60th Oklahoma Legislature, not only rejects the social studies standards in their entirety but also instructs the Secretary of State to distribute copies of the resolution to key stakeholders, including the Governor, the State Department of Education, and the editor of "The Oklahoma Register". This action represents the legislature's formal mechanism for challenging and potentially blocking educational standards that they believe do not meet the state's educational requirements or expectations.
