Appendix I provides the most recent Ohio Department of Taxation report on taxable values, taxes levied, average tax rates for current expenses, and average property values per pupil for each of Ohio’s school districts. As a condition to receive an initial pupil activity permit to coach interscholastic athletics, an individual must have successfully completed a training program focused on brain trauma and brain injury management. Renewals of the permit are contingent upon the successful completion of a similar program within the previous three years in recognizing the symptoms of concussions and head injuries. For non-licensed individuals, the pupil activity permit is valid for three years. However, for those individuals holding a valid teaching license, the permit is instead valid for the same number of years as the individual’s educator license. A majority of the members constitutes a quorum. Roll call votes and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members (and not just those present) are required for certain resolutions, including the purchase or sale of real or personal property, employment, election or appointment of officers, payment of debt or claim, and textbook adoption. In some instances, a two-thirds or majority vote of the membership is mandated for passage of a resolution. A member may demand roll call votes. The department of education is required to calculate the percentage of each district’s operating budget both for classroom instructional and for non-instructional purposes and then rank the districts from highest to lowest. The department will categorize all districts by ADM into at least three but not more than five groups for the purpose of the tanking. The department shall also report the 20% of all districts with the lowest total operating expenditures per pupil and the 20% of all districts with the highest performance index scores. The department of education is required to rank order all school districts according to the following measures: 1)Performance index score for each district and for each school within the district; 2) Student performance growth from year to year; 3)Current per pupil operating expenditures; 4) Percentage of operating expenditures spent for classroom instruction; and 5)Performance of, and opportunities provided to, gifted students. Board members must be present to vote.
