COLUMBUS The Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) reacted to the passage of House Bill (HB) 67 by the Ohio House of Representatives. The bill, which passed by a vote of 93-1 and advances to the Senate, would provide graduation flexibility and targeted testing waivers to students and schools for the 2020-21 school year, among other changes.
However, because a vote on the bill’s emergency clause failed 57-38, the bill will not take effect until June, long after tests have been administered. For bills designated as emergency measures, the Ohio Constitution requires two-thirds support of the members of each chamber on the emergency clause. If an emergency clause is approved, the bill itself also requires a two-thirds majority vote to pass.
