In this week's Legal Ledger Sidebar, OSBA attorneys Jennifer Hardin and John Price talk to Scott Gerfen about the new school disciplinary provisions enacted in House Bill 206.
Our attorneys talk about the basics of Ohio's school discipline statutes, the details of the new provisions and the options available for school districts in situations in which a threat to safety is present. As covered in the video, school districts who wish to utilize the new provision will need to adopt a policy enacting the provisions in the district.
If you have general questions about this topic, please contact the legal division on the legal hotline at (855) OSBA-LAW. Questions about your board's specific situation should be directed to your board’s legal counsel and policy provider.
