| OH | Signed into law 06/2012 | P-12 | From final bill analysis: Specifies that the provisions of the "parent trigger" restructuring petition, under the Columbus pilot program, prevail over the general restructuring law for low-performing schools, if a district school becomes subject to both, unless the parent petition is rejected for certain reasons.
