A BILL
To enact section 3313.614 of the Revised Code to
grant high school diplomas to
World War II
veterans.
Section 1. That section 3313.614 of the Revised Code be
enacted to read as
follows:
Sec. 3313.614. (A)(1) Notwithstanding the requirements of
sections
3313.61 and 3313.611 of the Revised Code, the board of
education of any city, exempted village, or local school district
may grant a high school diploma
to any World War II veteran who is
a resident of the district if all of the following
apply: (a) The veteran left public high school prior to graduation
in order to
serve in the armed forces of the United States. (b) The veteran received an honorable discharge from the
armed forces of
the United States. (c) The veteran has not been granted a diploma as provided
in section
3313.61 or 3313.612 of the Revised Code or a diploma of
adult education as provided in
section 3313.611 of the Revised
Code. (2) If the district is not the school district that contains
the territory in which the World War II veteran attended high
school immediately prior to serving in the armed forces, prior to
awarding a diploma under this section the board of education shall
obtain the written approval of the board of education of that
district that does contain the territory in which the veteran
attended high school immediately prior to serving in the armed
forces.
(3) If a veteran that would otherwise qualify for a diploma
under this section is deceased, the board of education of the
district in which the veteran last resided may award such diploma
to the veteran posthumously and may present that diploma to a
living relative of the veteran.
(B) The governor's office of
veterans' affairs, in
accordance with section 111.15 of the Revised Code, and with the
advice and consent of the veterans advisory committee established
under division (K) of section 5902.02 of the Revised Code, shall
develop and adopt rules to
implement this
section. Such rules
shall include, but not be limited to, rules
establishing
procedures for
application and verification of
eligible veterans
for a diploma under this
section. |
