board to request that the parent obtain the screening from another
provider selected by the parent.. The board must provide information
about the screening to the parents of all students subject to the
screening.
The children of parents submitting a written statement indicating that
they do not wish their children to be screened are not subject to the
screening.
As a result of the screening, the district must notify the parent of each
child screened of any health risks associated with the results of the
screening of that student and provide a list of resources that
appropriately address those risks.
Results of the screening are to be reported to the state’s director of
health as aggregated data for the entire district (i.e. not individual
schools) on the body mass index and weight status category. The
department of health may then publish the data aggregated by county.

BONDS
A board of education may submit requests to its electors for permission
to issue bonds for acquiring or constructing permanent improvements.
Following calculation by the county auditor of the estimated annual tax
required to retire the bonds (expressed in dollars and cents and in
millage), a board of education must file its resolution with the county
board of elections for the next general or primary election to be held not
less than 90 days and not more than 110 days after the date of the
adoption of the resolution. If instead the issue is to be considered at a
special election, the resolution must be adopted not less than 90 days
before that special election.
The board of elections must publish a notice of the election at least once
in a newspaper of general circulation in the district no later than ten days
prior to the election.
For Ohio Construction Facilities Commission (OCFC) projects, the
proposed bonds may be issued in more than one series in order to
“phase in” millage at the times that the borrowed money will actually be
needed. These sections of law prescribe the ballot language for both
the single and multiple series of bond issues.

special election for voters to consider the bond issue and tax. The
