assessments or below proficient on state third grade exam (C must
equal a value not lower than the statewide average for this
measure).
Also reported but not graded are: percentage of students in Advanced
Placement (AP) classes and percentage of those students receiving a
score of 3 or high on AP exams; percentage of students earning at least
3 college credits through advanced standing programs or through
career-technical dual enrollment or articulated credit; percentage of
students taking a college entrance examination and percentage of those
students determined to be remediation-free; percentage of students
earning industry credential; percentage of students in international
baccalaureate (IB) and percentage of those students receiving a score
of 4 or better on IB examinations; percentage of students earning an
honors diploma; and results of college and career-ready assessments.
There will be no overall letter grade assigned for the 2014-2015 school
year.
By July 1, 2015, the state board must develop a measure of student
academic progress for high school students using only data from
assessments in English language arts and mathematics. This measure
is to be included on the 2014-2015 report card – but without an assigned
letter grade. However, a letter grade will be assigned for the 2015-2016
report card and will be included in calculating the overall letter grade for
the building or district.
The letter grades are to be assigned as follows:
A for a district or school making excellent progress;
B for a district or school making above average progress;
C for a district or school making average progress;
D for a district or school making below average progress;
F for a district or school failing to meet minimum progress.
For ”high mobility” schools and districts, there is an additional graded
value-added progress dimension determined using the value-added
data from the most recent school year available and assessment scores
for only those students to whom the district/building administered
assessments for each of the two most recent consecutive school years.
The additional value-added progress dimension grade for a high mobility
school or district is exempted from the computation of the overall letter
grade. (See MOBILITY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, HIGH above.)

BREACH OF SYSTEM
SECURITY
If school district personnel become aware of a breach of security within
its computer system that could lead to identity theft, it has a duty to notify
individuals whose personal information may have been compromised.

the cost of providing the notice.

PERSONAL LEAVE
Boards of education are required to adopt rules “entitling” personal leave
for non-teaching employees. While ORC 3319.142 does not specifically
mention licensed employees, it has generally been interpreted that ORC
124.39 extends this benefit to those with licenses.
