score on the required assessment by the end of third grade, the
student may be retained in third grade.
Annually, each school district shall report on its implementation of and
compliance with the third grade reading guarantee. Based on the
information to be reported by the superintendent of public instruction, it
would appear that districts will be required to report:
1) the number and percentage of students in grades K-4 reading
below grade level based on the diagnostic and the achievement
assessments and aggregated by district and by building;
2) types of intervention services provided; and
3) an evaluation of the provided services (if available).
If the district offers “intensive interventions in reading” through a summer
reading camp, it must comply with the nutrition requirements in ORC
3313.813.
Summer remediation services funded in whole or in part by the state
must also meet the following criteria:
1)Methods must be based on reliable educational research;
2)Assessments must be conducted before and after student
participation in order to monitor results; and
3)Parents of participating students must be involved in programming
decisions;

TRANSFER OF
DISTRICT
TERRITORY
INVOLVING AN ESC
The transfer of all or part of the territory of a local school district to
adjoining local districts or one adjoining local district can be initiated by
the governing board of the local district’s educational service center so
long as all involved districts are located within the territory of that ESC.
The transfer of the territory can then be approved at the next regular
meeting of the ESC governing board held at least 30 days after approval
of the initial resolution on the transfer. However, if a petition of
referendum signed by a majority of the electors voting in the last general
election and residing in the affected area is filed with the ESC
superintendent, the issue will be presented to voters at a subsequent
primary or general election (held at least 75 days after the filing of the
petition) or at a special election specified in the petition.
A transfer can also be initiated by a petition signed by 55% of the
qualified electors voting in the last general election and residing in the
territory proposed for transfer. The vote on this petition of transfer
follows the same procedures as the petition of referendum.
