CREDIT PROGRAM, FLEXIBLE

3313.603(J)

East school district and community school (but apparently not chartered nonpublic schools) must comply with a plan developed by the state board of education for students to earn units of high school credit based on a demonstration of subject area competency, instead of or in combination with completing hours of classroom instruction.

The plan must also include a standard method for recording demonstrated proficiency on high school transcripts.

Please see Appendix O for information relating to the flexible credit program.

CTC DISTRICT BOARD MEMBER (VOCATIONAL EDUCATION PLANNING DISTRICT) COMPENSATION

3311.19

Members of joint vocational school districts may be paid up to $125 for each meeting attended plus mileage at the rate established by board resolution. The compensation must be established by resolution of the board, and no board member can receive an increase while in office. Each JVSD board member may also be compensated for attendance at approved training programs at the rate of $60 for programs of three hours or less in length and $125 for training programs longer than three hours in length. However, the board member cannot also receive compensation for the same training from the ESC or district board of which he or she is also a member.

Board members may also participate in the vocational school district’s health insurance plan, but they must bear the entire cost.

CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS EXEMPTION

3313.603

Students entering ninth grade for the first time on or after July 1, 2014 and until July 1, 2016 may be eligible for an exemption from the curriculum requirements for graduation if other conditions are met.

In addition to having a student success plan, students would need to satisfy the following curriculum requirements:

1)Four (rather than three) units of math, one of which must be probability and statistics, computer programming, applied mathematics, quantitative reasoning, or other ODE approved course; 2)Five (rather than six) elective units; and 3)All science units would need to include inquiry-based laboratory experience engaging students in asking valid science questions and gathering and analyzing information. Districts will need to report annually to ODE the number of students who opt for graduation under the exemption and the number of students completing their student success plans and graduating from high school. A school district will require a copy of a child custody order or court decree or modification be provided to the school district upon admission of a child to school or when any modification takes place. No school official can be admitted from a Department of Youth Services facility unless the superintendent of the entering district has received from DYS an updated copy of the pupil’s transcript, a report outlining the behavior of the pupil while in custody, an individualized education program (if one exists), and “a summary of the institutional record of the child’s behavior.”
