Would Mean More Local Control

The sponsor of newly introduced Senate Bill 216 told WOSU Radio on Wednesday that he wants to roll back almost a hundred requirements on Ohio’s public school districts.  These requirements range from mandates on school personnel to directives for students in classrooms.  The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Matt Huffman of Lima, said it would mean more local control – and he wants to go further.  “Frankly, if we could eliminate all state requirements and have to do what the federal government is making us to, that’s where I would want to go.”
