Specifies that the writing program must incorporate a variety of language resources, technological tools and multiple opportunities for students to develop complex communication skills for a variety of purposes.

| OH | Signed into law 12/2006 | P-12 | Increases high school graduation requirements for students entering grade 9 during the 2010-2011 school year (Class of 2014). Increases math units from 3 to 4; requires one unit of Algebra II or its equivalent. Existing 3-unit requirement in science calls for one unit biological sciences and one unit physical sciences. New requirements specify that 3 units science must all be lab sciences that include 1 unit physical sciences, 1 unit biology and 1 unit in one or more of the following: (1) chemistry, physics or other physical science; (2) advanced biology or other life science; or (3) astronomy, physical geology, or other earth or space science.
Division (K) of this section addtionally requires students entering grade 9 for the first time during the 2010-2011 school year (Class of 2014) to complete two semesters of fine arts, which requirement may be completed in any grade 7-12. Students who receive a waiver from the Ohio core graduation requirements, either through a parental agreement or through enrollment in an approved dropout prevention and recovery program, are not required but encouraged to enroll in a fine arts course as an elective.
Division (L) allows local boards to adopt policies excusing any student who has participated in interscholastic athletics, marching band or cheerleading for at least two full seasons during high school from the high school physical education requirement. A student who receives an excusal must complete a half unit of credit in another course of study.
Directs schools to integrate economics and financial literacy into one or more of the existing social studies credit requirements (American history and American government). In developing this integrated curriculum, schools must use available public-private partnerships and resources and materials that exist in business, industry, and through the centers for economics education at institutions of higher education in the state.
Replaces existing 6 units of electives with 5-unit elective requirement. Directs that these be fulfilled by one or any combination of foreign language, fine arts, business, career-technical education, family and consumer sciences, technology, agricultural education, or English language arts, mathematics, science, or social studies courses not otherwise required in the core curriculum.
Clarifies that a student may meet the Ohio core curriculum graduation requirements through a variety of methods, including integrated, applied, career-technical and traditional coursework.
Includes legislative intent: "Ohioans must be prepared to apply increased knowledge and skills in the workplace and to adapt their knowledge and skills quickly to meet the rapidly changing conditions of the twenty-first century. National studies indicate that all high school graduates need the same academic foundation, regardless of the opportunities they pursue after graduation. The goal of Ohio's system of elementary and secondary education is to prepare all students for and seamlessly connect all students to success in life beyond high school graduation, regardless of whether the next step is entering the workforce, beginning an apprenticeship, engaging in post-secondary training, serving in the military, or pursuing a college degree."

| CO | Signed into law 05/2005 | P-12 | Creates the dropout prevention activity grant program to fund before- and after-school arts-based and vocational activity programs for students in grades 6-12, with the goal of reducing the student dropout rate. Defines as schools eligible to participate public and charter schools serving any grades 6-12 and that received a "low" or "unsatisfactory" rating in the state accountability system for the school year preceding the school year in which the school is seeking a grant for the program.
States that a qualified school seeking grant program funding must apply to its local board for permission to apply to the department for a grant. If the district board grants permission, directs the qualified school to submit an application to the department. Defines a "qualified community organization" as a nonprofit or not-for-profit, nonsectarian, community-based organization that provides before- and after-school, arts-based or vocational activity programs to low-income youth in grades 6-12. Allows a qualified community organization to seek a program grant by entering into a partnership agreement with a qualified school. Requires the department to review each grant application received and to make recommendations to the state board on the awarding of program grants. Specifies that first priority must be given to schools that have had high dropout rates for the 3 years prior to the submission of the application, and that the department must also fund schools with high percentages of minority and low-income students. Also requires the department to consider the format of the program and determine its cost-effectiveness, the number of students who will be able to participate, and the quality of the experience offered, with the goal of funding arts-based and vocational activity programs that offer a large number of students the opportunity to directly participate in and experience an arts-based or vocational activity. Encourages the department to fund programs that have a school-business or include a community service component, so that programs demonstrate a connection with the community outside the school and provide a benefit to that community.
Creates the dropout prevention activity grant fund.
Requires each qualified school that receives a program grant to report to the department, for each year in which it receives a grant, a description of the arts-based or vocational activity program, the projects accomplished through the program, and the number of participating students. Directs the department to annually report to the education committees of the general assembly and to the governor on the number and amounts of dropout prevention activity program grants awarded, a description of the programs that received funding, the number of students participating in the programs, and the dropout rates for the schools where the funded arts-based and vocational activity programs were operated.
Requires that for income tax years commencing on and after January 1, 2005, but before January 1, 2008, a voluntary contributor designation line for the program shall appear on individual income tax forms. Repeals voluntary contributor designation line for the program effective January 1, 2009.
