| 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."
