Chair Edwards, Vice Chair Powell, Ranking Member Upchurch, and members of the House
Economic and Workforce Development Committee, thank you for the opportunity to submit written
testimony in support of Senate Bill (SB) 166. Our organizations represent public school district
boards of education, superintendents, treasurers/CFOs, business managers, and other school business
officials from around the state.

On behalf of our members, we write to express our support of SB 166, which would help provide
the necessary learning opportunities and skill development for our students in career technical
programs and other work-based learning experiences. Some of the benefits of this legislation include:

      Provides incentives to Ohio businesses to provide work-based learning experiences for
       students enrolled in an approved career-technical program to help ensure sufficient
       opportunities are available to students;
      Permits a student to receive credit for a driver education course conducted by a school or
       district as either an elective or as an approved industry-recognized credential;
      Permits a career-technical planning district to use a portion of career-technical education
       funds to make a driver education course available to high school students enrolled in the
       district;
      Allows approved career-technical education programs to provide remote or digital learning
       opportunities to students on a full-time or hybrid basis to the extent practicable; and
      With respect to a commercial or industrial project subject to a community reinvestment area
       tax exemption, extends to a joint vocational school district the authority under current law
       applied to a city, local, or exempted village school district.

Our members support the opportunities provided for under SB 166 that will enhance career technical
education for Ohio students.

 Again, thank you for considering our testimony. Feel free to contact us with questions.

 Respectfully submitted,

 Kevin Miller, BASA
 Katie Johnson, OASBO
 Will Schwartz, OSBA
