Security numbers for that purpose only and provided, further, that

the provisions of Section 3101 et seq. of this title shall not be

Social Security number if the use of the number is related to the

Social Security Administration or benefits thereunder, or, subject

to the provisions of Section 1-311.1 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma

determining student enrollment, to establish a mobility rate or for

the allocation of State Aid Formula and midyear adjustment in

the refusal by the student to disclose the Social Security number of

the student. If the State Department of Education or a board of

Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program, for the purpose of

determining student enrollment, to establish a mobility rate or for

the allocation of State Aid Formula and midyear adjustment in

funding for student growth. The accountability system shall be

developed only if, in the determination of the Board, the provisions

of subsection D of this section are not sufficient to allow for the

adequate implementation of the provisions of the Oklahoma School

Testing Program Act or the Oklahoma Educational Indicators Program.
