closed by increasing the length of other school days in the manner | 24 |
authorized in division (B) of this section. No resolution adopted | 25 |
pursuant to this division shall conflict with any collective | 26 |
bargaining agreement into which a board has entered pursuant to | 27 |
Chapter 4117. of the Revised Code and that is in effect in the | 28 |
district. | 29 |
(B) Notwithstanding the content ofanything to the contrary | 30 |
in the contingency plan it adopts under division (A) of this | 31 |

building for any of the reasons specified in division (A)(2) of | 33 |
section 3306.01 and division (B) of section 3317.01 of the Revised | 34 |
Code, or as a result of a bomb threat or any other report of an | 35 |
alleged or impending explosion, and if, as a result of the closing | 36 |
or evacuation, the school district would be unable to meet the | 37 |
requirements of sections 3306.01, 3313.48, 3313.481, and 3317.01 | 38 |
of the Revised Code regarding the number of days schools must be | 39 |
open for instruction or the requirements of the state minimum | 40 |
standards for the school day that are established by the | 41 |
department of education regarding the number of hours there must | 42 |
be in the school day, the school district may increase the length | 43 |
of one or more other school days for the school that was closed or | 44 |

open for instruction or the requirements of those standards | 49 |
regarding the number of hours there must be in the school day. | 50 |
(C) If a school district closes or evacuates any school | 51 |
building for any of the reasons specified in division (B) of | 52 |

contingency plan adopted under division (A) of this section is | 55 |
insufficient to enable the school district to meet the | 56 |
requirements of sections 3313.48, 3313.481, and 3317.01 of the | 57 |
Revised Code regarding the number of days schools must be open for | 58 |
instruction or the requirements of the state minimum standards for | 59 |
the school day that are established by the department of education | 60 |
regarding the number of hours there must be in the school day, the | 61 |
school district may increase the length of one or more other | 62 |
school days for the school that was closed or evacuated, in | 63 |
increments of one-half hour, to make up the number of hours or | 64 |

evacuated for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of those | 66 |
sections regarding the number of days schools must be open for | 67 |
instruction or the requirements of those standards regarding the | 68 |
number of hours there must be in the school day. The district | 69 |
shall not be required to actually make up any of the days | 70 |
specified in the district's contingency plan prior to increasing | 71 |
the length of one or more school days to make up the shortage of | 72 |
hours or days caused by the school's closure or evacuation, but in | 73 |

the Revised Code, as adjusted by any poverty-based assistance | 417 |
reduction factor of the community school. | 418 |

entitled to attend school, the district's per pupil amount of | 449 |
state parity aid funding calculated under either division (C) or | 450 |
(D) of section 3317.0217 of the Revised Code is multiplied by the | 451 |
sum of the number of that district's students enrolled in grades | 452 |
one through twelve, and one-half of the number of that district's | 453 |
students enrolled in kindergarten, in the community school as | 454 |

community school an amount equal to the school's costs for the | 466 |
student in excess of the threshold catastrophic costs. | 467 |
(2) The community school shall only report under division | 468 |
(E)(1) of this section, and the department shall only pay for, the | 469 |
costs of educational expenses and the related services provided to | 470 |
the student in accordance with the student's individualized | 471 |

not be included in the amount. | 474 |
(F) A community school may apply to the department of | 475 |
education for preschool children with disabilities or gifted unit | 476 |
funding the school would receive if it were a school district. | 477 |
Upon request of its governing authority, a community school that | 478 |
received unit funding as a school district-operated school before | 479 |
it became a community school shall retain any units awarded to it | 480 |
as a school district-operated school provided the school continues | 481 |
to meet eligibility standards for the unit. | 482 |
(K) For purposes of determining the number of students for | 511 |
which divisions (D)(5) and (6) of this section applies in any | 512 |
school year, a community school may submit to the department of | 513 |
job and family services, no later than the first day of March, a | 514 |
list of the students enrolled in the school. For each student on | 515 |
the list, the community school shall indicate the student's name, | 516 |
address, and date of birth and the school district where the | 517 |
student is entitled to attend school. Upon receipt of a list under | 518 |
this division, the department of job and family services shall | 519 |
determine, for each school district where one or more students on | 520 |
the list is entitled to attend school, the number of students | 521 |
residing in that school district who were included in the | 522 |
department's report under section 3317.10 of the Revised Code. The | 523 |
department shall make this determination on the basis of | 524 |
information readily available to it. Upon making this | 525 |
determination and no later than ninety days after submission of | 526 |
the list by the community school, the department shall report to | 527 |
the state department of education the number of students on the | 528 |
list who reside in each school district who were included in the | 529 |
department's report under section 3317.10 of the Revised Code. In | 530 |
complying with this division, the department of job and family | 531 |
services shall not report to the state department of education any | 532 |
personally identifiable information on any student. | 533 |
(L) The department of education shall adjust the amounts | 534 |
subtracted and paid under divisions (C) and (D) of this section to | 535 |
reflect any enrollment of students in community schools for less | 536 |
than the equivalent of a full school year. The state board of | 537 |
education within ninety days after April 8, 2003, shall adopt in | 538 |
accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code rules governing | 539 |
the payments to community schools under this section and section | 540 |
3314.13 of the Revised Code including initial payments in a school | 541 |
year and adjustments and reductions made in subsequent periodic | 542 |
payments to community schools and corresponding deductions from | 543 |
school district accounts as provided under divisions (C) and (D) | 544 |
of this section and section 3314.13 of the Revised Code. For | 545 |
purposes of this section and section 3314.13 of the Revised Code: | 546 |
(2) A student shall be considered to be enrolled in a | 551 |
community school during a school year for the period of time | 552 |
beginning on the later of the date on which the school both has | 553 |
received documentation of the student's enrollment from a parent | 554 |
and the student has commenced participation in learning | 555 |
opportunities as defined in the contract with the sponsor, or | 556 |
thirty days prior to the date on which the student is entered into | 557 |
the education management information system established under | 558 |
section 3301.0714 of the Revised Code. For purposes of applying | 559 |
this division and divisiondivisions (L)(3) and (4) of this | 560 |
section to a community school student, "learning opportunities" | 561 |
shall be defined in the contract, which shall describe both | 562 |
classroom-based and non-classroom-based learning opportunities and | 563 |
shall be in compliance with criteria and documentation | 564 |
requirements for student participation which shall be established | 565 |
by the department. Any student's instruction time in | 566 |
non-classroom-based learning opportunities shall be certified by | 567 |
an employee of the community school. A student's enrollment shall | 568 |
be considered to cease on the date on which any of the following | 569 |
occur: | 570 |
(3) The department shall determine each community school | 579 |
student's percentage of full-time equivalency based on the | 580 |
percentage of learning opportunities offered by the community | 581 |
school to that student, reported either as number of hours or | 582 |
number of days, is of the total learning opportunities offered by | 583 |
the community school to a student who attends for the school's | 584 |
entire school year. However, no internet- or computer-based | 585 |
community school shall be credited for any time a student spends | 586 |
participating in learning opportunities beyond ten hours within | 587 |
any period of twenty-four consecutive hours. Whether it reports | 588 |
hours or days of learning opportunities, each community school | 589 |
shall offer not less than nine hundred twenty hours of learning | 590 |
opportunities during the school year. | 591 |
(4) With respect to the calculation of full-time equivalency | 592 |
under division (L)(3) of this section, the department shall waive | 593 |
the number of hours or days of learning opportunities not offered | 594 |
to a student because the community school was closed during the | 595 |
school year due to disease epidemic, hazardous weather conditions, | 596 |
inoperability of school buses or other equipment necessary to the | 597 |
school's operation, damage to a school building, or other | 598 |
temporary circumstances due to utility failure rendering the | 599 |
school building unfit for school use, so long as the school was | 600 |
actually open for instruction with students in attendance during | 601 |
that school year for not less than the minimum number of hours | 602 |
required by this chapter. The department shall treat the school as | 603 |
if it were open for instruction with students in attendance during | 604 |
the hours or days waived under this division. | 605 |
(2) In accordance with policies adopted jointly by the | 625 |
superintendent of public instruction and the auditor of state, the | 626 |
department shall reduce the amounts otherwise payable under | 627 |
division (D) of this section to any community school that includes | 628 |
in its program the provision of computer hardware and software | 629 |
materials to any student, if such hardware and software materials | 630 |
have not been delivered, installed, and activated for each such | 631 |
student in a timely manner or other educational materials or | 632 |
services have not been provided according to the contract between | 633 |
the individual community school and its sponsor. | 634 |
(O)(1) If the department determines that a review of a | 643 |
community school's enrollment is necessary, such review shall be | 644 |
completed and written notice of the findings shall be provided to | 645 |
the governing authority of the community school and its sponsor | 646 |
within ninety days of the end of the community school's fiscal | 647 |
year, unless extended for a period not to exceed thirty additional | 648 |
days for one of the following reasons: | 649 |
(3) Any student who was enrolled in the community school | 683 |
during the previous school year when assessments were administered | 684 |
under section 3301.0711 of the Revised Code but did not take one | 685 |
or more of the assessments required by that section and was not | 686 |
excused pursuant to division (C)(1) or (3) of that section, unless | 687 |
the superintendent of public instruction grants the student a | 688 |
waiver from the requirement to take the assessment and a parent is | 689 |
not paying tuition for the student pursuant to section 3314.26 of | 690 |
the Revised Code. The superintendent may grant a waiver only for | 691 |
good cause in accordance with rules adopted by the state board of | 692 |
education. | 693 |
(4) Any student who has attained the age of twenty-two years, | 694 |
except for veterans of the armed services whose attendance was | 695 |
interrupted before completing the recognized twelve-year course of | 696 |
the public schools by reason of induction or enlistment in the | 697 |
armed forces and who apply for enrollment in a community school | 698 |
not later than four years after termination of war or their | 699 |
honorable discharge. If, however, any such veteran elects to | 700 |
enroll in special courses organized for veterans for whom tuition | 701 |
is paid under federal law, or otherwise, the department shall not | 702 |
subtract from a school district's state aid account under division | 703 |
(C) of this section and shall not pay to a community school under | 704 |
division (D) of this section any amount for that veteran. | 705 |
This chapter shall be administered by the state board of | 711 |
education. The superintendent of public instruction shall | 712 |
calculate the amounts payable to each school district and shall | 713 |
certify the amounts payable to each eligible district to the | 714 |
treasurer of the district as provided by this chapter. As soon as | 715 |
possible after such amounts are calculated, the superintendent | 716 |
shall certify to the treasurer of each school district the | 717 |
district's adjusted charge-off increase, as defined in section | 718 |
5705.211 of the Revised Code. No moneys shall be distributed | 719 |
pursuant to this chapter without the approval of the controlling | 720 |
board. | 721 |
Moneys distributed pursuant to this chapter shall be | 725 |
calculated and paid on a fiscal year basis, beginning with the | 726 |
first day of July and extending through the thirtieth day of June. | 727 |
The moneys appropriated for each fiscal year shall be distributed | 728 |
periodically to each school district unless otherwise provided | 729 |
for. The state board shall submit a yearly distribution plan to | 730 |
the controlling board at its first meeting in July. The state | 731 |
board shall submit any proposed midyear revision of the plan to | 732 |
the controlling board in January. Any year-end revision of the | 733 |
plan shall be submitted to the controlling board in June. If | 734 |
moneys appropriated for each fiscal year are distributed other | 735 |
than monthly, such distribution shall be on the same basis for | 736 |
each school district. | 737 |
(A) The school district, except for any educational service | 740 |
center and any joint vocational or cooperative education school | 741 |
district, levies for current operating expenses at least twenty | 742 |
mills. Levies for joint vocational or cooperative education school | 743 |
districts or county school financing districts, limited to or to | 744 |
the extent apportioned to current expenses, shall be included in | 745 |
this qualification requirement. School district income tax levies | 746 |
under Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code, limited to or to the | 747 |
extent apportioned to current operating expenses, shall be | 748 |
included in this qualification requirement to the extent | 749 |
determined by the tax commissioner under division (D) of section | 750 |
3317.021 of the Revised Code. | 751 |
(B) The school year next preceding the fiscal year for which | 752 |
such payments are authorized meets the requirement of section | 753 |

minimum number of days or hours school must be open for | 755 |
instruction with pupils in attendance, for individualized | 756 |
parent-teacher conference and reporting periods, and for | 757 |
professional meetings of teachers. This requirement shall be | 758 |
waived by the superintendent of public instruction if it had been | 759 |
necessary for a school to be closed because of disease epidemic, | 760 |
hazardous weather conditions, inoperability of school buses or | 761 |
other equipment necessary to the school's operation, damage to a | 762 |
school building, or other temporary circumstances due to utility | 763 |
failure rendering the school building unfit for school use, | 764 |
provided that for those school districts operating pursuant to | 765 |
section 3313.48 of the Revised Code the number of days the school | 766 |
was actually open for instruction with pupils in attendance and | 767 |
for individualized parent-teacher conference and reporting periods | 768 |
is not less than one hundred seventy-five, or for those school | 769 |
districts operating on a trimester plan the number of days the | 770 |
school was actually open for instruction with pupils in attendance | 771 |
not less than seventy-nine days in any trimester, for those school | 772 |
districts operating on a quarterly plan the number of days the | 773 |
school was actually open for instruction with pupils in attendance | 774 |
not less than fifty-nine days in any quarter, or for those school | 775 |
districts operating on a pentamester plan the number of days the | 776 |
school was actually open for instruction with pupils in attendance | 777 |
not less than forty-four days in any pentamester. However, for | 778 |
fiscal year 2012, the superintendent shall waive two fewer such | 779 |
days for the 2010-2011 school year. | 780 |
The superintendent of public instruction shall waive the | 788 |
requirements of this section with reference to the minimum number | 789 |
of days or hours school must be in session with pupils in | 790 |
attendance for the school year succeeding the school year in which | 791 |
a board of education initiates a plan of operation pursuant to | 792 |
section 3313.481 of the Revised Code. The minimum requirements of | 793 |
this section shall again be applicable to such a district | 794 |
beginning with the school year commencing the second July | 795 |
succeeding the initiation of one such plan, and for each school | 796 |
year thereafter. | 797 |
A board of education or governing board of an educational | 807 |
service center which has not conformed with other law and the | 808 |
rules pursuant thereto, shall not participate in the distribution | 809 |
of funds authorized by sections 3317.022 to 3317.0211, 3317.11, | 810 |
3317.16, 3317.17, and 3317.19 of the Revised Code, except for good | 811 |
and sufficient reason established to the satisfaction of the state | 812 |
board of education and the state controlling board. | 813 |
Section 3. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency | 819 |
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public | 820 |
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is to | 821 |
provide schools with adequate time to address unavoidable school | 822 |
closures due to public calamities, such as hazardous weather | 823 |
conditions, during the current school year. Therefore, this act | 824 |
shall go into immediate effect. | 825 |
