August Special Election School Results Not Positive

Only three of fourteen school funding issues on the ballot for Tuesday’s special election received voter approval. Two emergency renewal levies passed, as did one new combination levy. However, four of the five combination levies (operating or permanent improvement and bond issues) were rejected, as well as two income tax renewals, two bond issues, a new current expense levy, a new permanent improvement levy, and one new current expense levy. Resolution of Intent for Middle Grades Career-Technical Education Ohio Revised Code Section 3313.90(A) requires a board of education not providing career- technical education for grades 7 and 8 to adopt annually a resolution declaring its intent not to provide such training programs. A template of this resolution is available on the BASA home page under Hot Topics. The instructions for filing this resolution through your SAFE account can be found here: http://education.ohio.gov/getattachment/Topics/Career- Tech/CTE-Middle-Grade-Programming/MS-Waiver-Instructions-6-28-16.pdf.aspx. The annual deadline for filing such a resolution is September 30.

Required Compliance Certification for Foods and Beverages Sold at School

Ohio law requires each school district board of education to adopt and enforce nutrition standards governing the types of food and beverages available for purchase on school premises. Please note that schools are required to report compliance annually to the Ohio Department of Education and submit the report by Friday, Sept. 30. Download report here:
