required to adopt for determining what qualifies as "good
cause" for this purpose.
A person who is under the age of 18 and who is approved to take the
GED tests is required to remain in school and to maintain at least a
75% attendance rate until either the person passes all required sections
of the GED tests or turns 18 years of age.
People who meet any of the following criteria may take the GED
test regardless of any other requirement under law: (1) the person
is or was homeschooled; (2) the person has a bodily or mental
condition that does not permit attendance at school and is excused
from attending school; (3) the person attended school in Ohio, but is
moving or has moved; (4) the person has an extreme, extenuating
circumstance as determined by ODE that requires the person to
withdraw from school.
For the purpose of calculating graduation rates for school districts
and schools on the state report cards, any person who officially
withdraws from school to take the GED tests is considered to be a
dropout.
GENERAL
OBLIGATION BONDS
A board of education, by an affirmative vote of 2/3 of all of its members,
may propose a bond issue to its electors for the purpose of making
permanent improvements. The resolution specifies the amount of the
bond issue, estimated rate, and maximum number of years and must
be filed with the county auditor, who “promptly shall estimate and certify”
the average annual tax rate required through the maturity of the bonds
to pay debt charges on the bonds.
Upon receipt of the auditor’s certification, the board, again by an
affirmative vote of 2/3 of its members, must adopt a resolution placing
the issue on the ballot and identifying the date of the election for voters
to consider the bond issue and tax. The election cannot be earlier than
90 days after certification of the resolution to the board of education.
