Governor activity
Gov. Mike DeWine signed into law House Bill (HB) 51. The bill allows a public body, including a board of education, to temporarily meet remotely until June 30, 2022. It also revises the process for adjusting property values due to instances that result in injury or destruction to the property and includes federal tax law conformity provisions. Both the ability for a public body to meet remotely and the federal tax law provisions took immediate effect.

State Report Card Changes

The Ohio General Assembly passed House Bill (HB) 82 in June 2021, and it became effective on Sept. 30, 2021. HB 82 revised the state report card system for school districts, beginning with the report card issued for the 2021-2022 school year. However, the overall rating for schools and districts will not begin until the 2022-23 school year.
