| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Section 3306.29: Establishes the Ohio school funding advisory council. Directs the council, by December 1, 2010 and every other year thereafter, to provide recommendations to the state board, the general assembly and the public for revisions to the adequacy components of the evidence-based school funding model . Requires that the recommendations be based on current, high quality research, information provided by school districts, and best practices in operational efficiencies. Requires that the December 2010 recommendations include analysis of the funding model's adequacy in financing for special education, gifted education services, career-technical education, arts education, services for limited English proficient students, and early college high schools.
Also requires the 2010 report to include:
(1) Recommendations for a student-centered evidence-based model that uses a per-pupil level of funding to follow a student to the school that best meets the student's individual learning needs
(2) A study of the extent to which current funding for joint vocational school districts and compact and comprehensive career-technical schools is responsive to state, regional and local business and industry needs, and recommendations for revisions to career-technical education programming and funding
(3) A study of the extent to which the current educational service center system supports school districts in academic achievement, teacher quality, shared educational services, and the purchasing of educational services and commodities, and recommendations for a new regional service delivery system, the educational service system governance structure, and accountability metrics for educational service centers
(4) A study of existing teacher compensation and retirement benefits structures, and recommendations for changes to the systems of teacher compensation and retirement benefits to improve the connections between teacher compensation, teaching excellence and higher levels of student learning

(6) An analysis of the effects of open enrollment on students and districts, and recommendations for ensuring that open enrollment policies and financing are equitable for students and districts.
Authorizes the council's analyses and recommendations for 2010 or subsequent biennia to address (but not be limited to):
(1) Strategies and incentives to promote cost-saving measures and efficiencies
(2) Options for adding learning time to the learning year, such as moving educator professional development to summer, adding learning time for children with greater educational needs, accounting for learning time by hours instead of days, and appropriate compensation to districts and staff for providing additional learning time
(3) The adequacy of the model's accounting for and financing of operational costs, including district-level administration and administrative and transportation challenges experienced by low-density and low-wealth school districts, and the effect of those costs on student achievement
(4) The accuacy of the calculation of each component of the funding model, and the model as a whole, in light of current educational needs and practices, and best practices
(5) Options to encourage districts and schools already attaining "excellent" ratings under the state accountability system to go beyond state standards and aspire to higher international norms.
Section 3306.291: Establishes a subcommittee of the Ohio school funding advisory council to study and make recommendations to foster collaboration between school districts and community schools. Directs the subcommittee to recommend fiscal strategies, including changes to the evidence-based funding model, that will provide incentives and compensation for districts and community schools to enter into collaborative agreements resulting in creative and innovative academic programming, and academic and fiscal efficiency. Directs the subcommittee to report its findings and recommendations to the general assembly by September 2010, and periodically thereafter at the direction of the state superintendent.
