| content standards adopted by the state board of education under | 227 |
| division (A)(1) of section 3301.079 of the Revised Code and the | 228 |
| academic content standards for financial literacy and | 229 |
| entrepreneurship adopted under division (A)(2) of that section, | 230 |
| into one or more existing social studies credits required under | 231 |
| division (C)(6) of this section, or into the content of another | 232 |
| class, so that every high school student receives instruction in | 233 |
| those concepts. In developing the curriculum required by this | 234 |
| paragraph, schools shall use available public-private partnerships | 235 |
| and resources and materials that exist in business, industry, and | 236 |
| through the centers for economics education at institutions of | 237 |
| higher education in the state. | 238 |
| (7) Five units consisting of one or any combination of | 239 |
| foreign language, fine arts, business, career-technical education, | 240 |
| family and consumer sciences, technology, agricultural education, | 241 |
| a junior reserve officer training corps (JROTC) program approved | 242 |

| Ohioans must be prepared to apply increased knowledge and | 247 |
| skills in the workplace and to adapt their knowledge and skills | 248 |
| quickly to meet the rapidly changing conditions of the | 249 |
| twenty-first century. National studies indicate that all high | 250 |
| school graduates need the same academic foundation, regardless of | 251 |
| the opportunities they pursue after graduation. The goal of Ohio's | 252 |
| system of elementary and secondary education is to prepare all | 253 |
| students for and seamlessly connect all students to success in | 254 |
| life beyond high school graduation, regardless of whether the next | 255 |
| step is entering the workforce, beginning an apprenticeship, | 256 |
| engaging in post-secondary training, serving in the military, or | 257 |
| pursuing a college degree. | 258 |
| The Ohio core curriculum is the standard expectation for all | 259 |
| students entering ninth grade for the first time at a public or | 260 |
| chartered nonpublic high school on or after July 1, 2010. A | 261 |
| student may satisfy this expectation through a variety of methods, | 262 |
| including, but not limited to, integrated, applied, | 263 |
| career-technical, and traditional coursework. | 264 |
| Whereas teacher quality is essential for student success in | 265 |
| completing the Ohio core curriculum, the general assembly shall | 266 |
| appropriate funds for strategic initiatives designed to strengthen | 267 |
| schools' capacities to hire and retain highly qualified teachers | 268 |
| in the subject areas required by the curriculum. Such initiatives | 269 |
| are expected to require an investment of $120,000,000 over five | 270 |
| years. | 271 |
| Stronger coordination between high schools and institutions | 272 |
| of higher education is necessary to prepare students for more | 273 |
| challenging academic endeavors and to lessen the need for academic | 274 |
| remediation in college, thereby reducing the costs of higher | 275 |
| education for Ohio's students, families, and the state. The state | 276 |
|
board | 277 |
| shall develop policies to ensure that only in rare instances will | 278 |
| students who complete the Ohio core curriculum require academic | 279 |
| remediation after high school. | 280 |
| School districts, community schools, and chartered nonpublic | 281 |
| schools shall integrate technology into learning experiences | 282 |
| whenever practicable across the curriculum in order to maximize | 283 |
| efficiency, enhance learning, and prepare students for success in | 284 |
| the technology-driven twenty-first century. Districts and schools | 285 |
| may use distance and web-based course delivery as a method of | 286 |
| providing or augmenting all instruction required under this | 287 |
| division, including laboratory experience in science. Districts | 288 |
| and schools shall whenever practicable utilize technology access | 289 |
| and electronic learning opportunities provided by the eTech Ohio | 290 |
| commission, the Ohio learning network, education technology | 291 |
| centers, public television stations, and other public and private | 292 |
| providers. | 293 |
| (D) Except as provided in division (E) of this section, a | 294 |
| student who enters ninth grade on or after July 1, 2010, and | 295 |
| before July 1, 2014, may qualify for graduation from a public or | 296 |
| chartered nonpublic high school even though the student has not | 297 |
| completed the Ohio core curriculum prescribed in division (C) of | 298 |
| this section if all of the following conditions are satisfied: | 299 |
| (1) After the student has attended high school for two years, | 300 |
| as determined by the school, the student and the student's parent, | 301 |
| guardian, or custodian sign and file with the school a written | 302 |
| statement asserting the parent's, guardian's, or custodian's | 303 |
| consent to the student's graduating without completing the Ohio | 304 |
| core curriculum and acknowledging that one consequence of not | 305 |
| completing the Ohio core curriculum is ineligibility to enroll in | 306 |
| most state universities in Ohio without further coursework. | 307 |
| (2) The student and parent, guardian, or custodian fulfill | 308 |
| any procedural requirements the school stipulates to ensure the | 309 |
| student's and parent's, guardian's, or custodian's informed | 310 |
| consent and to facilitate orderly filing of statements under | 311 |
| division (D)(1) of this section. | 312 |
| (3) The student and the student's parent, guardian, or | 313 |
| custodian and a representative of the student's high school | 314 |
| jointly develop an individual career plan for the student that | 315 |
| specifies the student matriculating to a two-year degree program, | 316 |
| acquiring a business and industry credential, or entering an | 317 |
| apprenticeship. | 318 |
| (4) The student's high school provides counseling and support | 319 |
| for the student related to the plan developed under division | 320 |
| (D)(3) of this section during the remainder of the student's high | 321 |
| school experience. | 322 |
| (5) The student successfully completes, at a minimum, the | 323 |
| curriculum prescribed in division (B) of this section. | 324 |
| The department of education, in collaboration with the | 325 |
|
chancellor | 326 |
| performance data to determine if there are mitigating factors that | 327 |
| warrant extending the exception permitted by division (D) of this | 328 |
| section to high school classes beyond those entering ninth grade | 329 |
| before July 1, 2014. The department shall submit its findings and | 330 |
| any recommendations not later than August 1, 2014, to the speaker | 331 |
| and minority leader of the house of representatives, the president | 332 |
| and minority leader of the senate, the chairpersons and ranking | 333 |
| minority members of the standing committees of the house of | 334 |
| representatives and the senate that consider education | 335 |
| legislation, the state board of education, and the superintendent | 336 |
| of public instruction. | 337 |
| (E) Each school district and chartered nonpublic school | 338 |
| retains the authority to require an even more rigorous minimum | 339 |
| curriculum for high school graduation than specified in division | 340 |
| (B) or (C) of this section. A school district board of education, | 341 |
| through the adoption of a resolution, or the governing authority | 342 |
| of a chartered nonpublic school may stipulate any of the | 343 |
| following: | 344 |
| (1) A minimum high school curriculum that requires more than | 345 |
| twenty units of academic credit to graduate; | 346 |
| (2) An exception to the district's or school's minimum high | 347 |
| school curriculum that is comparable to the exception provided in | 348 |
| division (D) of this section but with additional requirements, | 349 |
| which may include a requirement that the student successfully | 350 |
| complete more than the minimum curriculum prescribed in division | 351 |
| (B) of this section; | 352 |
| (3) That no exception comparable to that provided in division | 353 |
| (D) of this section is available. | 354 |
| (F) A student enrolled in a dropout prevention and recovery | 355 |
| program, which program has received a waiver from the department | 356 |
| 357 | |
| successfully completing a competency-based instructional program | 358 |
| administered by the dropout prevention and recovery program in | 359 |
| lieu of completing the Ohio core curriculum prescribed in division | 360 |
| (C) of this section. The department shall grant a waiver to a | 361 |
| dropout prevention and recovery program, within sixty days after | 362 |
| the program applies for the waiver, if the program meets all of | 363 |
| the following conditions: | 364 |
| (1) The program serves only students not younger than sixteen | 365 |
| years of age and not older than twenty-one years of age. | 366 |
| (2) The program enrolls students who, at the time of their | 367 |
| initial enrollment, either, or both, are at least one grade level | 368 |
| behind their cohort age groups or experience crises that | 369 |
| significantly interfere with their academic progress such that | 370 |
| they are prevented from continuing their traditional programs. | 371 |
| (3) The program requires students to attain at least the | 372 |
| applicable score designated for each of the assessments prescribed | 373 |
| under division (B)(1) of section 3301.0710 of the Revised Code or, | 374 |
|
to the extent prescribed by rule of the state board | 375 |
| under division (E)(6) of section 3301.0712 of the Revised Code, | 376 |
| division (B)(2) of that section. | 377 |
| (4) The program develops an individual career plan for the | 378 |
| student that specifies the student's matriculating to a two-year | 379 |
| degree program, acquiring a business and industry credential, or | 380 |
| entering an apprenticeship. | 381 |
| (5) The program provides counseling and support for the | 382 |
| student related to the plan developed under division (F)(4) of | 383 |
| this section during the remainder of the student's high school | 384 |
| experience. | 385 |
| (6) The program requires the student and the student's | 386 |
| parent, guardian, or custodian to sign and file, in accordance | 387 |
| with procedural requirements stipulated by the program, a written | 388 |
| statement asserting the parent's, guardian's, or custodian's | 389 |
| consent to the student's graduating without completing the Ohio | 390 |
| core curriculum and acknowledging that one consequence of not | 391 |

| to the department an instructional plan that demonstrates how the | 395 |
|
academic content standards adopted by the state board | 396 |
| under section 3301.079 of the Revised Code will be taught and | 397 |
| assessed. | 398 |
| If the department does not act either to grant the waiver or | 399 |
| to reject the program application for the waiver within sixty days | 400 |
| as required under this section, the waiver shall be considered to | 401 |
| be granted. | 402 |
| (G) Every high school may permit students below the ninth | 403 |
| grade to take advanced work. If a high school so permits, it shall | 404 |
| award high school credit for successful completion of the advanced | 405 |
| work and shall count such advanced work toward the graduation | 406 |
| requirements of division (B) or (C) of this section if the | 407 |
| advanced work was both: | 408 |
| (1) Taught by a person who possesses a license or certificate | 409 |
| issued under section 3301.071, 3319.22, or 3319.222 of the Revised | 410 |
| Code that is valid for teaching high school; | 411 |
| (2) Designated by the board of education of the city, local, | 412 |
| or exempted village school district, the board of the cooperative | 413 |
| education school district, or the governing authority of the | 414 |
| chartered nonpublic school as meeting the high school curriculum | 415 |
| requirements. | 416 |
| Each high school shall record on the student's high school | 417 |
| transcript all high school credit awarded under division (G) of | 418 |
| this section. In addition, if the student completed a seventh- or | 419 |
| eighth-grade fine arts course described in division (K) of this | 420 |
| section and the course qualified for high school credit under that | 421 |
| division, the high school shall record that course on the | 422 |
| student's high school transcript. | 423 |
| (H) The department shall make its individual academic career | 424 |
| plan available through its Ohio career information system web site | 425 |
| for districts and schools to use as a tool for communicating with | 426 |
| and providing guidance to students and families in selecting high | 427 |
| school courses. | 428 |
| (I) Units earned in English language arts, mathematics, | 429 |
| science, and social studies that are delivered through integrated | 430 |
| academic and career-technical instruction are eligible to meet the | 431 |
| graduation requirements of division (B) or (C) of this section. | 432 |
| (J) The state board | 433 |
|
chancellor | 434 |
| plan implementing methods for students to earn units of high | 435 |
| school credit based on a demonstration of subject area competency, | 436 |
| instead of or in combination with completing hours of classroom | 437 |
| instruction. The state board shall adopt the plan not later than | 438 |
| March 31, 2009, and commence phasing in the plan during the | 439 |
| 2009-2010 school year. The plan shall include a standard method | 440 |
| for recording demonstrated proficiency on high school transcripts. | 441 |
| Each school district, community school, and chartered nonpublic | 442 |
| school shall comply with the state board's plan adopted under this | 443 |
| division and award units of high school credit in accordance with | 444 |
| the plan. The state board may adopt existing methods for earning | 445 |
| high school credit based on a demonstration of subject area | 446 |
| competency as necessary prior to the 2009-2010 school year. | 447 |
| (K) This division does not apply to students who qualify for | 448 |
| graduation from high school under division (D) or (F) of this | 449 |
| section, or to students pursuing a career-technical instructional | 450 |
| track as determined by the school district board of education or | 451 |
| the chartered nonpublic school's governing authority. | 452 |
| Nevertheless, the general assembly encourages such students to | 453 |
| consider enrolling in a fine arts course as an elective. | 454 |
| Beginning with students who enter ninth grade for the first | 455 |
| time on or after July 1, 2010, each student enrolled in a public | 456 |
| or chartered nonpublic high school shall complete two semesters or | 457 |
| the equivalent of fine arts to graduate from high school. The | 458 |
| coursework may be completed in any of grades seven to twelve. Each | 459 |
| student who completes a fine arts course in grade seven or eight | 460 |
| may elect to count that course toward the five units of electives | 461 |
| required for graduation under division (C)(7) of this section, if | 462 |
| the course satisfied the requirements of division (G) of this | 463 |
| section. In that case, the high school shall award the student | 464 |
| high school credit for the course and count the course toward the | 465 |
| five units required under division (C)(7) of this section. If the | 466 |
| course in grade seven or eight did not satisfy the requirements of | 467 |
| division (G) of this section, the high school shall not award the | 468 |
| student high school credit for the course but shall count the | 469 |
| course toward the two semesters or the equivalent of fine arts | 470 |
| required by this division. | 471 |
| (L) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, | 472 |
| the board of education of each school district and the governing | 473 |
| authority of each chartered nonpublic school may adopt a policy to | 474 |
| excuse from the high school physical education requirement each | 475 |
| student who, during high school, has participated in | 476 |
| interscholastic athletics, marching band, or cheerleading for at | 477 |
| least two full seasons or in the junior reserve officer training | 478 |
| corps for at least two full school years. If the board or | 479 |
| authority adopts such a policy, the board or authority shall not | 480 |
| require the student to complete any physical education course as a | 481 |
| condition to graduate. However, the student shall be required to | 482 |
| complete one-half unit, consisting of at least sixty hours of | 483 |
| instruction, in another course of study. In the case of a student | 484 |
| who has participated in the junior reserve officer training corps | 485 |
| for at least two full school years, credit received for that | 486 |
| participation may be used to satisfy the requirement to complete | 487 |
| one-half unit in another course of study. | 488 |
| Sec. 3313.6016. (A) Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, | 489 |
| the department of education shall administer a pilot program | 490 |
| requiring daily physical activity for students. Any school | 491 |
| district; community school established under Chapter 3314. of the | 492 |
| Revised Code; science, technology, engineering, and mathematics | 493 |
| school established under Chapter 3326. of the Revised Code; or | 494 |
| chartered nonpublic school annually may elect to participate in | 495 |
| the pilot program by notifying the department of its interest by a | 496 |
| date established by the department. If a school district elects to | 497 |
| participate in the pilot program, each school building operated by | 498 |
| the district shall be required to participate. To the maximum | 499 |
| extent possible, the department shall seek to include in the pilot | 500 |
| program districts and schools that are located in urban, suburban, | 501 |
| and rural areas distributed geographically throughout the state. | 502 |
| The department shall administer the pilot program in accordance | 503 |
| with this section. | 504 |
| (B) Except as provided in division (C) of this section, each | 505 |
| district or school participating in the pilot program shall | 506 |
| require all students in each of grades kindergarten through twelve | 507 |
| to engage in at least thirty minutes of moderate to rigorous | 508 |
| physical activity each school day, exclusive of recess. Physical | 509 |
| activity engaged in during the following may count toward the | 510 |
| daily requirement: | 511 |
| (1) A physical education course; | 512 |
| (2) A program or activity occurring before or after the | 513 |
| regular school day, as defined in section 3313.814 of the Revised | 514 |

| provided school officials are able to monitor students' | 516 |
| participation to ensure compliance with the requirement. | 517 |
| (C) None of the following shall be subject to the requirement | 518 |
| of division (B) of this section: | 519 |
| (1) Any student enrolled in the post-secondary enrollment | 520 |
| options program established under Chapter 3365. of the Revised | 521 |
| Code; | 522 |
| (2) Any student enrolled in a career-technical education | 523 |
| program operated by the district or school; | 524 |
| (3) Any student enrolled in a dropout prevention and recovery | 525 |
| program operated by the district or school. | 526 |
| (D) For any period in which a student is participating in | 527 |
| interscholastic athletics, marching band, cheerleading, or a | 528 |
| junior reserve officer training corps program, the district or | 529 |
| school may excuse the student from the requirement of division (B) | 530 |
| of this section. | 531 |
| (E) The district or school may excuse any kindergarten | 532 |
| student who is not enrolled in all-day kindergarten, as defined in | 533 |
| section 3321.05 of the Revised Code, from the requirement of | 534 |
| division (B) of this section. | 535 |
| (F) Each district or school annually shall report to the | 536 |
| department, in the manner prescribed by the department, how the | 537 |
| district or school implemented the thirty minutes of daily | 538 |
| physical activity and the financial costs of implementation. The | 539 |
| department shall issue an annual report of the data collected | 540 |
| under this division. | 541 |
| Sec. 3313.674. (A) Except as provided in divisions (D) and | 542 |
| (H) of this section, the board of education of each city, exempted | 543 |
| village, or local school district and the governing authority of | 544 |
| each chartered nonpublic school shall require each student | 545 |
| enrolled in kindergarten, third grade, fifth grade, and ninth | 546 |
| grade to undergo a screening for body mass index and weight status | 547 |
| category prior to the first day of May of the school year. | 548 |
| (B) The board or governing authority may provide any | 549 |
| screenings required by this section itself, contract with another | 550 |
| entity for provision of the screenings, or request the parent or | 551 |
| guardian of each student subject to this section to obtain the | 552 |
| screening from a provider selected by the parent or guardian and | 553 |
| to submit the results to the board or governing authority. If the | 554 |
| board or governing authority provides the screenings itself or | 555 |
| contracts with another entity for provision of the screenings, the | 556 |
| board or governing authority shall protect student privacy by | 557 |
| ensuring that each student is screened alone and not in the | 558 |
| presence of other students or staff. | 559 |
| (C) Prior to the first day of February of each school year, | 560 |
| the board or governing authority shall provide the parent or | 561 |
| guardian of each student subject to this section with information | 562 |
| about the screening program. If the board or governing authority | 563 |
| requests parents and guardians to obtain a screening from a | 564 |
| provider of their choosing, the board or governing authority shall | 565 |
| provide them with a list of providers and information about | 566 |
| screening services available in the community to parents and | 567 |
| guardians who cannot afford a private provider. | 568 |
| (D) If the parent or guardian of a student subject to this | 569 |
| section signs and submits to the board or governing authority a | 570 |
| written statement indicating that the parent or guardian does not | 571 |
| wish to have the student undergo the screening, the board or | 572 |
| governing authority shall not require the student to be screened. | 573 |
| (E) The board or governing authority shall notify the parent | 574 |
| or guardian of each student screened under this section of any | 575 |
| health risks associated with the student's results and shall | 576 |
| provide the parent or guardian with information about | 577 |
| appropriately addressing the risks. For this purpose, the | 578 |
| department of health, in consultation with the department of | 579 |
| education and the healthy choices for healthy children council | 580 |
| established under section 3301.92 of the Revised Code, shall | 581 |
| develop a list of documents, pamphlets, or other resources that | 582 |
| may be distributed to parents and guardians under this division. | 583 |
| (F) The board or governing authority shall maintain the | 584 |
| confidentiality of each student's individual screening results at | 585 |
| all times. No board or governing authority shall report a | 586 |
| student's individual screening results to any person other than | 587 |
| the student's parent or guardian. | 588 |
| (G) In a manner prescribed by rule of the director of health, | 589 |
| the board or governing authority shall report aggregated body mass | 590 |
| index and weight status category data collected under this | 591 |
| section, and any other demographic data required by the director, | 592 |
| to the department of health. In the case of a school district, | 593 |
| data shall be aggregated for the district as a whole and not for | 594 |
| individual schools within the district, unless the district | 595 |
| operates only one school. In the case of a chartered nonpublic | 596 |
| school, data shall be aggregated for the school as a whole. The | 597 |
| department annually may publish the data reported under this | 598 |
| division, aggregated by county. If any district or chartered | 599 |
| nonpublic school was granted a waiver under division (H) of this | 600 |
| section for a school year for which data is published, the | 601 |
| department shall note that the data for the county in which the | 602 |
| district or school is located is incomplete. The department may | 603 |
| share data reported under this division with other governmental | 604 |
| entities for the purpose of monitoring population health, making | 605 |
| reports, or public health promotional activities. | 606 |
| (H) A board or governing authority may obtain a waiver of the | 607 |
| requirement to have students undergo screenings for body mass | 608 |
| index and weight status category by submitting to the | 609 |
| superintendent of public instruction an affidavit, attested to by | 610 |
| the president or presiding officer of the board or governing | 611 |
| authority, stating that the board or governing authority is unable | 612 |
| to comply with the requirement. The superintendent shall grant the | 613 |
| waiver upon receipt of the affidavit. | 614 |
