A BILL
To enact section 3319.80 of the Revised Code to
authorize educational service centers to provide
teacher professional development on dyslexia.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 3319.80 of the Revised Code be
enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 3319.80. (A) The governing board of any educational
service center may engage the services of a dyslexia specialist to
provide training for teachers of grades kindergarten to four on
the indicators of dyslexia and the types of instruction that
children with dyslexia need to learn, read, write, and spell. If a
service center provides this training, it shall make the training
available to local school districts within the service center's
territory and to other school districts, community schools, and
STEM schools that have contracted for the training from the
service center under section 3313.843, 3313.844, 3313.845, or
3326.45 of the Revised Code.
If a governing board of any educational service center does
not provide the training, a group of local school districts within
the service center's territory may engage the services of a
dyslexia specialist to provide training for teachers
independently.
A school district or school may require the training
authorized under this section for its teachers as part of the
district's or school's regular in-service training programs.
(B) As used in this section:
(1) "Dyslexia" means a specific learning disorder that is
neurological in origin and that is characterized by unexpected
difficulties with accurate or fluent word recognition and by poor
spelling and decoding abilities not consistent with the person's
intelligence, motivation, and sensory capabilities, which
difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological
component of language.
(2) "Dyslexia specialist" means a person who is trained and
certified in a multisensory structured language program that meets
the level II specialist criteria set by the international dyslexia
association's knowledge and practice standards or standards from
any other nationally recognized organization that specializes in
issues surrounding dyslexia, or any subsequently adopted
standards.
