Sec. 3313.482. (A) Annually, prior to the first day of | 20 |
September, the board of education of each city, local, and | 21 |
exempted village school district shall adopt a resolution | 22 |
specifying a contingency plan under which the district's students | 23 |
will make up days on which it was necessary to close schools for | 24 |
any of the reasons specified in division (A)(2) of section 3306.01 | 25 |
and division (B) of section 3317.01 of the Revised Code, if any | 26 |
such days must be made up in order to comply with the requirements | 27 |
of that section and sections 3306.01, 3313.48
and, 3313.481, and | 28 |
3317.01 of the Revised Code. The resolutionplan shall provide in | 29 |
the plan for making up at least five
full school days. The plan | 30 |
may provide for making up some or all of the days a school is | 31 |
closed by increasing the length of other school days in the manner | 32 |
authorized in division (B) of this section. No resolution adopted | 33 |
pursuant to this division shall conflict with any collective | 34 |
bargaining agreement into which a board has entered pursuant to | 35 |
Chapter 4117. of the Revised Code and that is in effect in the | 36 |
district. | 37 |
(B) Notwithstanding the content ofanything to the contrary | 38 |
in the contingency plan it adopts under division (A) of this | 39 |
section, if a school district closes or evacuates any school | 40 |
building for any of the reasons specified in division (A)(2) of | 41 |
section 3306.01 and division (B) of section 3317.01 of the Revised | 42 |
Code, or as a result of a bomb threat or any other report of an | 43 |
alleged or impending explosion, and if, as a result of the closing | 44 |
or evacuation, the school district would be unable to meet the | 45 |
requirements of sections 3306.01, 3313.48, 3313.481, and 3317.01 | 46 |
of the Revised Code regarding the number of days schools must be | 47 |
open for instruction or the requirements of the state minimum | 48 |
standards for the school day that are established by the | 49 |
department of education regarding the number of hours there must | 50 |
be in the school day, the school district may increase the length | 51 |
of one or more other school days for the school that was closed or | 52 |
evacuated, in increments of one-half hour, to make up the number | 53 |
of hours or days that the school building in question was so | 54 |
closed or evacuated for the purpose of satisfying the requirements | 55 |
of those sections regarding the number of days schools must be | 56 |
open for instruction or the requirements of those standards | 57 |
regarding the number of hours there must be in the school day. | 58 |
(C) If a school district closes or evacuates any school | 59 |
building for any of the reasons specified in division (B) of | 60 |
section 3317.01 of the Revised Code, and if for that school the | 61 |
total number of full school days specified in the district's | 62 |
contingency plan adopted under division (A) of this section is | 63 |
insufficient to enable the school district to meet the | 64 |
requirements of sections 3313.48, 3313.481, and 3317.01 of the | 65 |
Revised Code regarding the number of days schools must be open for | 66 |
instruction or the requirements of the state minimum standards for | 67 |
the school day that are established by the department of education | 68 |
regarding the number of hours there must be in the school day, the | 69 |
school district may increase the length of one or more other | 70 |
school days for the school that was closed or evacuated, in | 71 |
increments of one-half hour, to make up the number of hours or | 72 |
days that the school building in question was so closed or | 73 |
evacuated for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of those | 74 |
sections regarding the number of days schools must be open for | 75 |
instruction or the requirements of those standards regarding the | 76 |
number of hours there must be in the school day. The district | 77 |
shall not be required to actually make up any of the days | 78 |
specified in the district's contingency plan prior to increasing | 79 |
the length of one or more school days to make up the shortage of | 80 |
hours or days caused by the school's closure or evacuation, but in | 81 |
no case shall the district fail to make up the total number of | 82 |
full school days specified in the contingency plan in accordance | 83 |
with that plan. | 84 |
(D) If a school district closes or evacuates a school | 85 |
building as a result of a bomb threat or any other report of an | 86 |
alleged or impending explosion and also closes or evacuates that | 87 |
school building on a different day for any of the reasons | 88 |
specified in division (B) of section 3317.01 of the Revised Code, | 89 |
division (B) of this section applies regarding the closing or | 90 |
evacuation of the school building as a result of the bomb threat | 91 |

this section applies regarding the closing or evacuation of the | 93 |
school building for the reason specified in division (B) of | 94 |
section 3317.01 of the Revised Code. | 95 |
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 3313.48, 3313.481, | 96 |
and 3317.01 of the Revised Code and the requirements of the state | 97 |
minimum standards for the school day that are established by the | 98 |
department of education and notwithstanding the content of the | 99 |

regarding the closing or evacuation of a school building as a | 101 |
result of a bomb threat or any other report of an alleged or | 102 |
impending explosion, aA school district that makes up, as | 103 |
described in this division (B) or (C) of this section, all of the | 104 |
hours or days that its school buildings were closed or evacuated | 105 |
for any of the reasons identified in this division (B) or (C) of | 106 |
this section shall be deemed to have complied with the | 107 |
requirements of those sections 3306.01, 3313.48, 3313.481, and | 108 |

Sec. 3313.88. (A) Prior to the first day of August of each | 113 |
school year, the board of education of any school district or the | 114 |
governing authority of any chartered nonpublic school may submit | 115 |
to the department of education a plan to require students to | 116 |
access and complete classroom lessons posted on the district's or | 117 |
nonpublic school's web portal or web site in order to make up days | 118 |
in that school year on which it is necessary to close schools for | 119 |
any of the reasons specified in division (A)(2) of section 3306.01 | 120 |
and division (B) of section 3317.01 of the Revised Code in excess | 121 |
of the number of days permitted under sections 3306.01, 3313.48, | 122 |
3313.481, and 3317.01 of the Revised Code. | 123 |
Prior to the first day of August of each school year, the | 124 |
governing authority of any community school established under | 125 |
Chapter 3314. that is not an internet- or computer-based community | 126 |
school, as defined in section 3314.02 of the Revised Code, may | 127 |
submit to the department a plan to require students to access and | 128 |
complete classroom lessons posted on the school's web portal or | 129 |
web site in order to make up days or hours in that school year on | 130 |
which it is necessary to close the school for any of the reasons | 131 |
specified in division (L)(4) of section 3314.08 of the Revised | 132 |
Code so that the school is in compliance with the minimum number | 133 |
of hours required under Chapter 3314. of the Revised Code. | 134 |
(5) If a student does not have access to a computer at the | 173 |
student's residence, the student shall be permitted to work on the | 174 |
posted lessons at school after the student's school reopens. If | 175 |
the lessons were posted prior to the reopening, the student shall | 176 |
be granted a two-week period from the date of the reopening, | 177 |
rather than from the date of posting as otherwise required under | 178 |
division (C)(4) of this section, to complete the lessons. The | 179 |
district board or community school or nonpublic school governing | 180 |
authority may provide the student access to a computer before, | 181 |
during, or after the regularly scheduled school day or may provide | 182 |
a substantially similar paper lesson in order to complete the | 183 |

(1) The board of education of each city, exempted village, | 234 |
and local school district to annually report the number of | 235 |
students entitled to attend school in the district who are | 236 |
enrolled in grades one through twelve in a community school | 237 |
established under this chapter, the number of students entitled to | 238 |
attend school in the district who are enrolled in kindergarten in | 239 |
a community school, the number of those kindergartners who are | 240 |
enrolled in all-day kindergarten in their community school, and | 241 |
for each child, the community school in which the child is | 242 |
enrolled. | 243 |
(e) Twenty per cent of the number of students reported under | 264 |
divisions (B)(2)(a) and (b) of this section who are not reported | 265 |

vocational education programs or classes described in each of | 267 |
divisions (A) and (B) of section 3317.014 of the Revised Code at a | 268 |
joint vocational school district under a contract between the | 269 |
community school and the joint vocational school district and are | 270 |
entitled to attend school in a city, local, or exempted village | 271 |
school district whose territory is part of the territory of the | 272 |
joint vocational district; | 273 |
(C) From the state education aid calculated for a city, | 282 |
exempted village, or local school district and, if necessary, from | 283 |
the payment made to the district under sections 321.24 and 323.156 | 284 |
of the Revised Code, the department of education shall annually | 285 |
subtract the sum of the amounts described in divisions (C)(1) to | 286 |
(9) of this section. However, when deducting payments on behalf of | 287 |
students enrolled in internet- or computer-based community | 288 |
schools, the department shall deduct only those amounts described | 289 |
in divisions (C)(1) and (2) of this section. Furthermore, the | 290 |
aggregate amount deducted under this division shall not exceed the | 291 |
sum of the district's state education aid and its payment under | 292 |
sections 321.24 and 323.156 of the Revised Code. | 293 |
(1) An amount equal to the sum of the amounts obtained when, | 294 |
for each community school where the district's students are | 295 |
enrolled, the number of the district's students reported under | 296 |
divisions (B)(2)(a), (b), and (e) of this section who are enrolled | 297 |
in grades one through twelve, and one-half the number of students | 298 |
reported under those divisions who are enrolled in kindergarten, | 299 |
in that community school is multiplied by the sum of the base | 300 |
formula amount of that community school plus the per pupil amount | 301 |
of the base funding supplements specified in divisions (C)(1) to | 302 |
(4) of section 3317.012 of the Revised Code. | 303 |
(4) An amount equal to the sum of the amounts obtained when, | 322 |
for each community school where the district's students are | 323 |
enrolled, the number of the district's students enrolled in that | 324 |
community school who are included in the district's poverty | 325 |
student count is multiplied by the per pupil amount of | 326 |
poverty-based assistance the school district receives that year | 327 |
pursuant to division (C) of section 3317.029 of the Revised Code, | 328 |
as adjusted by any poverty-based assistance reduction factor of | 329 |
that community school. The per pupil amount of that aid for the | 330 |
district shall be calculated by the department. | 331 |
(D) The department shall annually pay to a community school | 399 |
established under this chapter the sum of the amounts described in | 400 |
divisions (D)(1) to (10) of this section. However, the department | 401 |
shall calculate and pay to each internet- or computer-based | 402 |
community school only the amounts described in divisions (D)(1) to | 403 |
(3) of this section. Furthermore, the sum of the payments to all | 404 |
community schools under divisions (D)(1), (2), and (4) to (10) of | 405 |
this section for the students entitled to attend school in any | 406 |
particular school district shall not exceed the sum of that | 407 |
district's state education aid and its payment under sections | 408 |
321.24 and 323.156 of the Revised Code. If the sum of the payments | 409 |
calculated under those divisions for the students entitled to | 410 |
attend school in a particular school district exceeds the sum of | 411 |
that district's state education aid and its payment under sections | 412 |
321.24 and 323.156 of the Revised Code, the department shall | 413 |
calculate and apply a proration factor to the payments to all | 414 |
community schools under those divisions for the students entitled | 415 |
to attend school in that district. | 416 |
(1) Subject to section 3314.085 of the Revised Code, an | 417 |
amount equal to the sum of the amounts obtained when the number of | 418 |
students enrolled in grades one through twelve, plus one-half of | 419 |
the kindergarten students in the school, reported under divisions | 420 |
(B)(2)(a), (b), and (e) of this section who are not receiving | 421 |
special education and related services pursuant to an IEP for a | 422 |
disability described in section 3317.013 of the Revised Code is | 423 |
multiplied by the sum of the community school's base formula | 424 |
amount plus the per pupil amount of the base funding supplements | 425 |
specified in divisions (C)(1) to (4) of section 3317.012 of the | 426 |
Revised Code. | 427 |
(4) For each student reported under division (B)(2)(d) of | 457 |
this section as enrolled in vocational education programs or | 458 |
classes that are described in section 3317.014 of the Revised | 459 |
Code, are provided by the community school, and are comparable as | 460 |
determined by the superintendent of public instruction to school | 461 |
district vocational education programs and classes eligible for | 462 |
state weighted funding under section 3317.014 of the Revised Code, | 463 |
an amount equal to the applicable vocational education weight | 464 |
times the community school's base formula amount times the | 465 |
percentage of time the student spends in the vocational education | 466 |
programs or classes. | 467 |
(5) An amount equal to the sum of the amounts obtained when, | 468 |
for each school district where the community school's students are | 469 |
entitled to attend school, the number of that district's students | 470 |
enrolled in the community school who are included in the | 471 |
district's poverty student count is multiplied by the per pupil | 472 |
amount of poverty-based assistance that school district receives | 473 |
that year pursuant to division (C) of section 3317.029 of the | 474 |
Revised Code, as adjusted by any poverty-based assistance | 475 |
reduction factor of the community school. The per pupil amount of | 476 |
aid shall be determined as described in division (C)(4) of this | 477 |
section. | 478 |
(10) An amount equal to the sum of the amounts obtained when, | 537 |
for each school district where the community school's students are | 538 |
entitled to attend school, the district's per pupil amount of | 539 |
state parity aid funding calculated under either division (C) or | 540 |
(D) of section 3317.0217 of the Revised Code is multiplied by the | 541 |
sum of the number of that district's students enrolled in grades | 542 |
one through twelve, and one-half of the number of that district's | 543 |
students enrolled in kindergarten, in the community school as | 544 |
reported under division (B)(2)(a) and (b) of this section. | 545 |
(E)(1) If a community school's costs for a fiscal year for a | 546 |
student receiving special education and related services pursuant | 547 |
to an IEP for a disability described in divisions (B) to (F) of | 548 |
section 3317.013 of the Revised Code exceed the threshold | 549 |
catastrophic cost for serving the student as specified in division | 550 |
(C)(3)(b) of section 3317.022 of the Revised Code, the school may | 551 |
submit to the superintendent of public instruction documentation, | 552 |
as prescribed by the superintendent, of all its costs for that | 553 |
student. Upon submission of documentation for a student of the | 554 |
type and in the manner prescribed, the department shall pay to the | 555 |
community school an amount equal to the school's costs for the | 556 |
student in excess of the threshold catastrophic costs. | 557 |
(K) For purposes of determining the number of students for | 601 |
which divisions (D)(5) and (6) of this section applies in any | 602 |
school year, a community school may submit to the department of | 603 |
job and family services, no later than the first day of March, a | 604 |
list of the students enrolled in the school. For each student on | 605 |
the list, the community school shall indicate the student's name, | 606 |
address, and date of birth and the school district where the | 607 |
student is entitled to attend school. Upon receipt of a list under | 608 |
this division, the department of job and family services shall | 609 |
determine, for each school district where one or more students on | 610 |
the list is entitled to attend school, the number of students | 611 |
residing in that school district who were included in the | 612 |
department's report under section 3317.10 of the Revised Code. The | 613 |
department shall make this determination on the basis of | 614 |
information readily available to it. Upon making this | 615 |
determination and no later than ninety days after submission of | 616 |
the list by the community school, the department shall report to | 617 |
the state department of education the number of students on the | 618 |
list who reside in each school district who were included in the | 619 |
department's report under section 3317.10 of the Revised Code. In | 620 |
complying with this division, the department of job and family | 621 |
services shall not report to the state department of education any | 622 |
personally identifiable information on any student. | 623 |
(L) The department of education shall adjust the amounts | 624 |
subtracted and paid under divisions (C) and (D) of this section to | 625 |
reflect any enrollment of students in community schools for less | 626 |
than the equivalent of a full school year. The state board of | 627 |
education within ninety days after April 8, 2003, shall adopt in | 628 |
accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code rules governing | 629 |
the payments to community schools under this section and section | 630 |
3314.13 of the Revised Code including initial payments in a school | 631 |
year and adjustments and reductions made in subsequent periodic | 632 |
payments to community schools and corresponding deductions from | 633 |
school district accounts as provided under divisions (C) and (D) | 634 |
of this section and section 3314.13 of the Revised Code. For | 635 |
purposes of this section and section 3314.13 of the Revised Code: | 636 |
(2) A student shall be considered to be enrolled in a | 641 |
community school during a school year for the period of time | 642 |
beginning on the later of the date on which the school both has | 643 |
received documentation of the student's enrollment from a parent | 644 |
and the student has commenced participation in learning | 645 |
opportunities as defined in the contract with the sponsor, or | 646 |
thirty days prior to the date on which the student is entered into | 647 |
the education management information system established under | 648 |
section 3301.0714 of the Revised Code. For purposes of applying | 649 |
this division and divisiondivisions (L)(3) and (4) of this | 650 |
section to a community school student, "learning opportunities" | 651 |
shall be defined in the contract, which shall describe both | 652 |
classroom-based and non-classroom-based learning opportunities and | 653 |
shall be in compliance with criteria and documentation | 654 |
requirements for student participation which shall be established | 655 |
by the department. Any student's instruction time in | 656 |
non-classroom-based learning opportunities shall be certified by | 657 |
an employee of the community school. A student's enrollment shall | 658 |
be considered to cease on the date on which any of the following | 659 |
occur: | 660 |
(3) The department shall determine each community school | 669 |
student's percentage of full-time equivalency based on the | 670 |
percentage of learning opportunities offered by the community | 671 |
school to that student, reported either as number of hours or | 672 |
number of days, is of the total learning opportunities offered by | 673 |
the community school to a student who attends for the school's | 674 |
entire school year. However, no internet- or computer-based | 675 |
community school shall be credited for any time a student spends | 676 |
participating in learning opportunities beyond ten hours within | 677 |
any period of twenty-four consecutive hours. Whether it reports | 678 |
hours or days of learning opportunities, each community school | 679 |
shall offer not less than nine hundred twenty hours of learning | 680 |
opportunities during the school year. | 681 |
(4) With respect to the calculation of full-time equivalency | 682 |
under division (L)(3) of this section, the department shall waive | 683 |
the number of hours or days of learning opportunities not offered | 684 |
to a student because the community school was closed during the | 685 |
school year due to disease epidemic, hazardous weather conditions, | 686 |
inoperability of school buses or other equipment necessary to the | 687 |
school's operation, damage to a school building, or other | 688 |
temporary circumstances due to utility failure rendering the | 689 |
school building unfit for school use, so long as the school was | 690 |
actually open for instruction with students in attendance during | 691 |
that school year for not less than the minimum number of hours | 692 |
required by this chapter. The department shall treat the school as | 693 |
if it were open for instruction with students in attendance during | 694 |
the hours or days waived under this division. | 695 |
(2) In accordance with policies adopted jointly by the | 715 |
superintendent of public instruction and the auditor of state, the | 716 |
department shall reduce the amounts otherwise payable under | 717 |
division (D) of this section to any community school that includes | 718 |
in its program the provision of computer hardware and software | 719 |
materials to any student, if such hardware and software materials | 720 |
have not been delivered, installed, and activated for each such | 721 |
student in a timely manner or other educational materials or | 722 |
services have not been provided according to the contract between | 723 |
the individual community school and its sponsor. | 724 |
(3) Any student who was enrolled in the community school | 773 |
during the previous school year when assessments were administered | 774 |
under section 3301.0711 of the Revised Code but did not take one | 775 |
or more of the assessments required by that section and was not | 776 |
excused pursuant to division (C)(1) or (3) of that section, unless | 777 |
the superintendent of public instruction grants the student a | 778 |
waiver from the requirement to take the assessment and a parent is | 779 |
not paying tuition for the student pursuant to section 3314.26 of | 780 |
the Revised Code. The superintendent may grant a waiver only for | 781 |
good cause in accordance with rules adopted by the state board of | 782 |
education. | 783 |
(4) Any student who has attained the age of twenty-two years, | 784 |
except for veterans of the armed services whose attendance was | 785 |
interrupted before completing the recognized twelve-year course of | 786 |
the public schools by reason of induction or enlistment in the | 787 |
armed forces and who apply for enrollment in a community school | 788 |
not later than four years after termination of war or their | 789 |
honorable discharge. If, however, any such veteran elects to | 790 |
enroll in special courses organized for veterans for whom tuition | 791 |
is paid under federal law, or otherwise, the department shall not | 792 |
subtract from a school district's state aid account under division | 793 |
(C) of this section and shall not pay to a community school under | 794 |
division (D) of this section any amount for that veteran. | 795 |
This chapter shall be administered by the state board of | 801 |
education. The superintendent of public instruction shall | 802 |
calculate the amounts payable to each school district and shall | 803 |
certify the amounts payable to each eligible district to the | 804 |
treasurer of the district as provided by this chapter. As soon as | 805 |
possible after such amounts are calculated, the superintendent | 806 |
shall certify to the treasurer of each school district the | 807 |
district's adjusted charge-off increase, as defined in section | 808 |
5705.211 of the Revised Code. No moneys shall be distributed | 809 |
pursuant to this chapter without the approval of the controlling | 810 |
board. | 811 |
Moneys distributed pursuant to this chapter shall be | 815 |
calculated and paid on a fiscal year basis, beginning with the | 816 |
first day of July and extending through the thirtieth day of June. | 817 |
The moneys appropriated for each fiscal year shall be distributed | 818 |
periodically to each school district unless otherwise provided | 819 |
for. The state board shall submit a yearly distribution plan to | 820 |
the controlling board at its first meeting in July. The state | 821 |
board shall submit any proposed midyear revision of the plan to | 822 |
the controlling board in January. Any year-end revision of the | 823 |
plan shall be submitted to the controlling board in June. If | 824 |
moneys appropriated for each fiscal year are distributed other | 825 |
than monthly, such distribution shall be on the same basis for | 826 |
each school district. | 827 |
(A) The school district, except for any educational service | 830 |
center and any joint vocational or cooperative education school | 831 |

deduct the amount that the board is required to pay under that | 1022 |
order from any payments the department makes to the school | 1023 |
district board under section 3306.12 of the Revised Code. The | 1024 |
