Professional Report

misdemeanor is triggered if the offense occurs between the time that the employee should have first been reported and the conviction of or plea of guilty by the offending employee. If a law enforcement agency notifies the school where a reported missing child last attended, a school district “official” must mark the record. (The request by the law enforcement agency is voluntary. However, if the request by law enforcement is made, the actions of the school are required.) Should a request for the student’s records arrive, the school must then notify the law enforcement agency that requested the marking of the record. The school must forward the record to the requesting school with no indication that the record had been marked. If the law enforcement agency later reports that the child is no longer missing, the mark must be removed from the record (along with any evidence that it has ever been marked). A “high mobility school district or building” is defined as a district or building where at least 25% of the total enrollment consists of students who have attended the district or building for less than one year. For such districts, there is an additional graded value-added progress dimension determined using the value-added data from the most recent school year available and assessment scores for only those students to whom the district/building administered assessments for each of the two most recent consecutive school years. The additional value-added progress dimension grade for a high mobility school or district is exempted from the computation of the overall letter grade. Board may provide for a moment of silence each day for “prayer, reflection, or meditation upon a moral, philosophical, or patriotic theme” but may not require that a student participates. Board may not prohibit a teacher from providing periods of time for activities of a moral, philosophical, or patriotic theme, but students may not be required to participate. Board may limit a student’s exercise or expression of religious beliefs to “lunch periods or other non-instructional time periods when pupils are free to associate.” Boards of education shall display the state or national motto in classrooms, auditoriums, and cafeterias if suitable copies are donated for this purpose. Donations contributed for this purpose will likewise trigger this requirement. Boards may not incur net indebtedness in excess of 1/10 of one percent of the total value of all property in the district as listed and assessed for taxation, without a vote of the people. An exception is a majority vote of the Board “to apply the proceeds” of a Permanent Improvement levy as an income tax (or a combination of the two) to “leverage” bonds for the local share of an Ohio Construction Facilities Commission (OCFC)project. Any such levy or income tax cannot be reduced or repealed while the securities pledging the local share are outstanding. Boards may incur indebtedness without a vote of the people not to exceed 9/10 of one percent of the total value of all property in the school district for installations, or modifications, or remodeling for energy conservation projects certified by an architect or engineer and approved by the Ohio Construction Facilities Commission (OCFC).
