HB294

Ohio HB294 regulates school district policies for intradistrict open enrollment in alternative schools.

Ohio HB294 amends the Revised Code to establish guidelines for school district policies on intradistrict open enrollment in alternative schools. The bill mandates that each city, local, and exempted village school district adopt an open enrollment policy for students eligible under sections 3313.64 or 3313.65. These policies must include application procedures, capacity limits by grade and program, and preferences for current students. The bill prohibits certain admissions criteria, such as academic ability, athletic or artistic skills, and disciplinary history.
