Statewide Mathematics Revolving Fund.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 70. Schools

A. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving

fund for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to be

designated the “Statewide Mathematics Revolving Fund”. The fund

shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations,

and shall consist of all monies received by the State Regents from

state appropriations provided for the purpose of implementing the

provisions of subsection B of this section. All monies accruing to

the credit of the fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted

and expended by the State Regents for the purpose provided for in

this subsection. Expenditures from the fund shall be made upon

warrants issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed as

prescribed by law with the Director of the Office of Management and

Enterprise Services for approval and payment.

B. Subject to the availability of funding, the Oklahoma State

Regents for Higher Education shall utilize the Statewide Mathematics

Revolving Fund created in subsection A of this section to:

1. Implement training for a scientifically research-based math

program in teacher education programs accredited by the Commission

for Educational Quality and Accountability. For the purposes of

this section, training in a scientifically research-based math

program includes providing explicit and systematic instruction in

real-world problem-solving skills, procedural fluency, conceptual

understanding, and productive dispositions, and implementing

instructional strategies that research has shown to be successful in

improving mathematics achievement among students with learning

difficulties in math. Beginning with students entering a teacher

education program accredited by the Commission for Educational

Quality and Accountability in the 2026-2027 academic year,

completion of training required by this paragraph shall lead to a

micro-credential in mathematics, which shall be reflected on

teaching certificates awarded to such individuals; and

2. Support teacher education programs accredited by the

Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability in developing

and implementing a micro-credential in mathematics for certified

teachers employed by school districts and charter schools in this

state. A micro-credential awarded pursuant to this paragraph shall

be reflected on a teacher’s certificate to teach.
