contract with another entity for this service. Another option is for the board to request that the parent obtain the screening from another provider selected by the parent.. The board must provide information about the screening to the parents of all students subject to the screening. The children of parents submitting a written statement indicating that they do not wish their children to be screened are not subject to the screening. As a result of the screening, the district must notify the parent of each child screened of any health risks associated with the results of the screening of that student and provide a list of resources that appropriately address those risks. Results of the screening are to be reported to the state’s director of health as aggregated data for the entire district (i.e. not individual schools) on the body mass index and weight status category. The department of health may then publish the data aggregated by county. Inducing panic involves initiating or circulating a report or warning of an alleged or impending fire, explosion, crime, or other catastrophe when the offender knows that the report or warning is false and when the public place involved in the violation is a school. In such instances involving schools, inducing panic is a felony of the second degree. A board of education may submit requests to its electors for permission to issue bonds for acquiring or constructing permanent improvements. Following calculation by the county auditor of the estimated annual tax required to retire the bonds (expressed in dollars and cents and in millage), a board of education must file its resolution with the county board of elections for the next general or primary election to be held not less than 90 days and not more than 110 days after the date of the adoption of the resolution. If instead the issue is to be considered at a special election, the resolution must be adopted not less than 90 days before that special election. The board of elections must publish a notice of the election at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the district no later than ten days prior to the election. For Ohio Construction Facilities Commission (OCFC) projects, the proposed bonds may be issued in more than one series in order to “phase in” millage at the times that the borrowed money will actually be needed. These sections of law prescribe the ballot language for both the single and multiple series of bond issues. A board of education may propose a bond issue to its electors for the purpose of making permanent improvements. The resolution specifies the amount of the bond issue, estimated rate, and maximum number of years and must be filed with the county auditor, who “promptly shall estimate and certify” the average annual tax rate required through the maturity of the bonds to pay debt charges on the bonds. Upon receipt of the auditor’s certification, the board must adopt a resolution placing the issue on the ballot and identifying the date of the special election for voters to consider the bond issue and tax. The special election cannot be earlier than 90 days after certification of the resolution to the board of education.
