Student Dropout Reports are required for all students Grades 7-12 annually by 70 O.S. § 35e of the Oklahoma Statutes.
In November of each year, administration of school districts serving students in Grades K-12 are required to report annually to their local boards of education (210:35-25-3).
The Student Dropout Reporting Procedures Manual (pdf) contains State Department of Education guidelines for submission of dropout reports.
