GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS,
ALTERNATE
A student who entered ninth grade for the first time prior to July 1,
2014, is eligible for graduation if the person completes one of the
three graduation pathways: (1) score at "remediation-free" levels in
English, math, and reading on nationally standardized
assessments, (2) attain a cumulative passing score on the end-of-
course examinations, or (3) attain a passing score on a nationally
recognized job skills assessment and obtain either an industry-
recognized credential or a state agency or board-issued license for
practice in a specific vocation. (This would be an alternative to the
requirement that such students must pass all areas of the Ohio
Graduation Tests in order to graduate from high school.)
A student who entered the ninth grade for the first time prior to July
1, 2014, and who has not passed all areas of the Ohio Graduation
Tests, may be eligible for a high school diploma if the person meets
a combined graduation requirement established by rules adopted
by the State Board of Education. This combined requirement could
be a mixture of the end-of-course exams and parts of the Ohio
Graduation Test..

other reason under Ohio law exists to exclude the child.

GRANDPARENT’S
ENROLLMENT OF A
CHILD WITHOUT
CUSTODY
It is possible for a grandparent to enroll a grandchild in the
grandparent’s district of residence if: the parent still has custody; the
child resides with the grandparent; and the child does not require
special education services.
However, the boards of education of both the child’s resident district
and grandparent’s resident district must enter into a written agreement
identifying the good cause basis for this attendance and consenting to
the attendance.

GROWTH LEVY
A board of education may propose a current expense levy that can
actually increase local tax collections even without new construction.
Commonly called a “growth levy,” this tax actually is a fixed rate levy
which is applied to the “cumulative carryover property value increase.” It
requires a resolution to the county board of elections at least 90 days
prior to the election. The resolution provides for the permissible amount
of increase (up to but not exceeding 104% of the collections the
previous year).
