The ink is barely dry on Ohio’s newest budget bill and it brings a number of changes that school board members should have on their radar. While we’ll be sharing more detailed guidance in the weeks ahead, this week’s episode of the Legal Ledger Sidebar focuses on a few key updates related to student attendance and enrollment. OSBA’s Scott Gerfen talks with Sara Clark and Jennifer Hardin about some changes impacting student absences, athletic eligibility and even a new provision that allows students to play ice hockey in neighboring districts.

For a deeper dive into these topics, don’t miss OSBA’s Attendance, Tuition and Custody Law Workshop on August 1. Register for the workshop to stay informed and up-to-date on the laws that govern enrollment, tuition and custody matters in schools.
