- Another quiet news cycle to end the week. The Ohio Senate this week passed SB 229. What started out as a bill covering a number of pandemic-related education issues for the current school year grew into either an “omnibus” bill or simple “cleanup language”, depending on who you ask. Among the provisions: clarification of the means by which public schools in the state can offer remote and hybrid learning options for the remainder of the school year and another year of exemption for the retention requirements for the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. Full details of the bill can be found here. Governor DeWine is expected to sign it into law soon. (Gongwer Ohio, 12/8/21)
