Ohio HB734 establishes an Outstanding Citizenship Award for school districts meeting specific criteria.

Ohio HB734 requires the Department of Education and Workforce to recognize school districts on the state report card if they meet certain citizenship criteria. These criteria include requiring students to recite the pledge of allegiance and observe a moment of silence at the start of each school day, encouraging students to read founding documents, and achieving high proficiency rates in American history and government exams. Additionally, districts receiving the award will be granted $500 annually for student transportation to visit the Ohio statehouse and museum.
