| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Section 3301.0711(K): Requires private high schools to administer the Ohio graduation tests (regardless of whether they accept voucher students. Participation on grade 3-8 state assessments for non-voucher private school students is still permissive, not mandatory.)
Section 3313.976: Makes administration of state assessments and reporting of such scores a condition of eligibility for a private school to participate in the Cleveland voucher program.
Section 3313.978(G): Directs the department to annually compile the assessment scores of Cleveland voucher students. Requires scores to be aggregated by district and by private school. Requires scores to be disaggregated by age, low-income status, race/ethnicity and gender, and by students participating in the voucher program for 3+ years, 2-3 years, and 1 year or less. Requires such data to be included in information provided to students. Also requires that the parent of each voucher student receive information comparing the student's performance on the state assessments with the average performance of similar students (as regards age, grade, race/ethnicity, gender and socioeconomic status) enrolled in the public school building the student would otherwise attend.
Section 3310.15: Requires the department to annually post on its Web site the assessment scores of EdChoice voucher students (eligible students are those in buildings declared in a state of "academic emergency" or "academic watch" in at least two of the three most recent ratings prior to the school year in which the scholarship was sought). Requires scores to be aggregated at the state, district, and nonpublic school level. Also requires performance data to be disaggregated by age, low-income status, race/ethnicity and gender, and by students participating in the voucher program for 3+ years, 2-3 years, and 1 year or less. Requires the department of education to provide this data to parents of students eligible to participate in the voucher program. Requires that the parent of each voucher student receive information comparing the student's performance on the state assessments with the average performance of similar students (as regards age, grade, race/ethnicity, gender and socioeconomic status) enrolled in the public school building the student would otherwise attend.

| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Extends eligibility to participate in the educational choice scholarship pilot program to students outside eligible districts. Specifies eligible students are those in a new building in its second or third year and to which all of the following apply (or who would be enrolling in kindergarten and entering such a building, or in a community school but who would otherwise be assigned to such a building):
(1) For the first school year the new building was open, at least 75% of the students had transferred directly from two or more school buildings that closed and to each of which all of the following apply:
(i) The closed buildings were operated by the same school district that operates the new building
(ii) The closed buildings offered at least some of the grade levels that the new building also offers
(iii) The closed buildings were declared, for at least two of their last three accountability ratings, to be in a state of academic emergency or academic watch
(iv) The closed buildings were not declared to be excellent or effective in their last accountability rating
(2) If the new building is conducting its second school year of instruction, the building was declared, based on its first school year of instruction, to be in a state of academic emergency or academic watch
(3) If the new building is conducting its third school year of instruction, the building was declared, based on either its first or second school year of instruction, to be in a state of academic emergency or academic watch, but was not declared to be excellent or effective under that section based on its second school year of instruction.
Existing provision provides differentiated amount deducted from a district's payment for each student participating in the educational choice scholarship pilot program, based on whether the student is in kindergarten or grades 1-12. New provision provides flat amount ($5,200) deducted from district payment for each participating student. Increases maximum scholarship award amounts for students in grades K-8 and 9-12. Repeals language establishing method of determining maximum scholarship amount.

| GA | Vetoed 05/2009 | P-12 | Amends provisions regarding educational improvement and taxation of student scholarship organizations. Provides that a student who was eligible for a P-12 private school scholarship at the time an educational scholarship or tuition grant was first received remains an eligible student so long as the student receives an educational scholarship or tuition grant from a student scholarship organization. Includes pre-kindergarten programs as programs qualified to receive scholarship students. Adds to qualifications eligible recipient schools or programs must meet. Specifies six methods by which scholarship funds may be transferred. Requires that all information or reports provided by student scholarship organizations to the department of revenue be confidential. Establishes consequences for any student scholarship organization that fails to comply with its obligations. Specifies that the department of revenue cannot take any adverse action against donors to student scholarship organizations that fail to comply with obligations if the department of revenue preapproved a donation for a tax credit prior to the date the student scholarship organization is removed from the department of education list. Makes active participation in a student scholarship organization's intentional violation of its obligations a misdemeanor. Modifies amount a taxpayer may credit for qualified education expenses to the lesser of (1) the amount actually expended or (2) 75% of the taxpayer's income tax liability. Requires each student scholarship organization to provide the department of revenue with a copy of each letter of confirmation of donation on a monthly basis. http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2009_10/pdf/hb100.pdf
