Bill overview
This bill, the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Act, modifies eligibility requirements for the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program. It expands the program to include students in grades 5-11 and those educated outside of traditional schools, requiring them and their parents to agree to certain conditions like regular school attendance, avoiding substance abuse, and maintaining good academic standing. Financial eligibility is also adjusted based on parental income, with higher income thresholds requiring greater student responsibility to qualify for program benefits. The bill also establishes a system for schools to designate contact persons to support students in the program.
