A BILL
To amend section 3313.602 of the Revised Code
to require school districts to devote at least one hour on Veterans' Day to an
observance that would convey the meaning and significance of that day.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 3313.602 of the
Revised Code be amended to read as follows:
Sec. 3313.602. (A) The board of education of each city, local, exempted
village, and joint vocational school district shall adopt a policy specifying
whether or not oral recitation of the pledge of allegiance to the flag shall
be a part of the school's program and, if so, establishing a time and manner
for such recitation.
(B) In the development of its graded course of study, the board of education
of each city and exempted village school district and the
governing board of each educational service center shall ensure that
the principles of democracy and ethics are emphasized and discussed wherever
appropriate in all parts of the curriculum for grades kindergarten through
twelve.
(C) Each city, local, exempted village, and joint vocational school board
shall adopt policies that encourage all certificated and noncertificated
employees to be cognizant of their roles in instilling ethical principles and
democratic ideals in all district pupils.
(D) THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF EACH CITY, LOCAL, AND EXEMPTED

THE MEANING AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT DAY. THE BOARD SHALL
DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES TO
CONSTITUTE THE OBSERVANCE IN EACH SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT AFTER CONSULTATION
WITH THE SCHOOL'S ADMINISTRATORS. IF SCHOOL IS NOT
SCHEDULED TO BE IN SESSION ON VETERANS' DAY,
THE OBSERVANCE PRESCRIBED BY THIS DIVISION SHALL BE HELD ON THE
SCHOOL DAY IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING
VETERANS' DAY.
Section 2. That existing section 3313.602 of the Revised Code is hereby
