HB 560 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Regards implicit bias training for licensed educators

HB 560 establishes strict requirements for contracts between sponsors and community schools, ensuring these institutions operate as nonsectarian entities with clear academic goals and performance standards. The bill mandates that contracts include detailed provisions for student attendance, financial audits, facility costs, and teacher qualifications, while also requiring schools to maintain racial and ethnic balance reflective of their communities. Additionally, the legislation sets specific rules for how community schools must award high school credits and report their activities to sponsors and parents. These measures aim to standardize the governance and accountability of community schools without altering the core mission of implicit bias training mentioned in the bill's title.
