AI Summary
This bill modifies the structure and reporting requirements of the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability (CEQA), an entity responsible for overseeing educational quality and accountability in Oklahoma. Key changes include staggering the terms of CEQA members to ensure continuity, requiring the CEQA to electronically submit its reports every three years instead of annually, and shifting the responsibility for conducting the educator supply-and-demand study from the State Board of Education to the CEQA. Additionally, the bill mandates that the CEQA's Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program, which assesses public school performance, include data on workforce outcomes for high school graduates, such as postsecondary enrollment, credential attainment, employment, and earnings. To facilitate this, various state agencies and contractors will be required to provide necessary data to the CEQA within a specific timeframe, and the State Board of Education must ensure contracts with assessment vendors include provisions for direct data transmission to the CEQA. The CEQA is also authorized to contract with a third party for data processing and reporting and to accept grant funds for its duties.
