  • Superintendent's Weekly Wrap-Up

    Superintendent's Weekly Wrap-Up

    Superintendent’s Weekly Wrap-up: Nov. 25 – Dec. 2 Senate Education Committee The Senate Education Committee met the week of November 14-18 and heard testimony on House Bill (HB) 96, HB 157 and Senate Bill (SB) 220. HB 96, sponsored by Rep. Ted Celeste (D-Columbus) and Rep. Andrew Brenner (R-Powell), seeks to designate dyslexia as a specific learning disability and to require a pilot project to provide early screening and intervention services for children with dyslexia. Several witnesses offered proponent testimony and Ann Brennan, director of the Ohio School Psychologists Association, gave written opponent testimony. In opposition, Brennan said school psychologists do not believe it is appropriate and are opposed to the requirement of screening students six and under for dyslexia, as during this time literacy skills are still emerging. HB 157, sponsored by Rep. Kirk Schuring (R-Canton) and Rep. Tom Letson (D- Warren), would authorize educational service centers to provide teacher professional development on dyslexia. Several witnesses testified in support of this legislation. Sen. Tom Sawyer (D-Akron) offered sponsor testimony on SB 220, legislation to require a study of interdistrict open enrollment, and to repeal sections of the Ohio Revised Code effective July 1, 2015, to terminate interdistrict open enrollment on that date with the possibility of renewal following the study's findings. During testimony Sawyer described the bill as an internationally broad and non- prescriptive piece of legislation that would allow Ohio to study the effects of its 22-year long “pilot program” on open enrollment. House Education Committee The House Education Committee met the week of November 14-18 and heard testimony on HB 205, HB 375 and HB 219.
