the department only shall report the data for, and not assign a 804
performance rating to, the college, career, workforce, and 805
military readiness component. The reported data shall include 806
the percentage of students who demonstrate post-secondary 807
readiness using any of the options described in division (D)(1) 808
(j) of this section. 809
The department shall analyze the data included in the 810
performance measure prescribed in division (D)(1)(j) of this 811
section for the 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 school 812
years. Using that data, the department shall develop and propose 813
rules for a method to assign a performance rating to the 814
college, career, workforce, and military readiness component 815
based on that measure. The method to assign a performance rating 816
shall not include a tiered structure or per student bonuses. The 817
rules shall specify that a district or building shall not 818
receive lower than a performance rating of three stars for the 819
component if the district's or building's performance on the 820
component meets or exceeds a level of improvement set by the 821
department. Notwithstanding division (D)(4)(b) of this section, 822
Legislative Service Commission - 29 -
more than half of the total districts and buildings may earn a 823
performance rating of three stars on this component to account 824
for the districts and buildings that earned a performance rating 825
of three stars because they met or exceeded the level of 826
improvement set by the department. 827
The department shall submit the rules to the joint 828
committee on agency rule review. The committee shall conduct at 829
least one public hearing on the proposed rules and approve or 830
disapprove the rules. If the committee approves the rules, the 831
state board shall adopt the rules in accordance with Chapter 832
119. of the Revised Code. If the rules are adopted, the 833
department shall assign a performance rating to the college, 834
career, workforce, and military readiness component under the 835
rules beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, and for each 836
school year thereafter. If the committee disapproves the rules, 837
the component shall be included in the report card only as 838
reported data for the 2024-2025 school year, and each school 839
year thereafter. 840
(g)(i) Except as provided for in division (D)(3)(g)(ii) of 841
this section, beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, under 842
the state board's method prescribed under rules adopted in 843
division (D)(4) of this section, the department shall use the 844
performance ratings assigned for the components prescribed in 845
divisions (D)(3)(a) to (e) of this section to determine and 846
assign an overall performance rating of "one star," "one and 847
one-half stars," "two stars," "two and one-half stars," "three 848
stars," "three and one-half stars," "four stars," "four and one- 849
half stars," or "five stars" for a district or building. The 850
method shall give equal weight to the components in divisions 851
(D)(3)(b) and (c) of this section. The method shall give equal 852
weight to the components in divisions (D)(3)(a), (d), and (e) of 853
Legislative Service Commission - 30 -
this section. The individual weights of each of the components 854
prescribed in divisions (D)(3)(a), (d), and (e) of this section 855
shall be equal to one-half of the weight given to the component 856
prescribed in division (D)(3)(b) of this section. 857
(ii) If the joint committee on agency rule review approves 858
the department's rules regarding the college, career, workforce, 859
and military readiness component as described in division (D)(3) 860
(f) of this section, for the 2024-2025 school year, and each 861
school year thereafter, the state board's method shall use the 862
components in divisions (D)(3)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) 863
of this section to calculate the overall performance rating. The 864
method shall give equal weight to the components in divisions 865
(D)(3)(b) and (c) of this section. The method shall give equal 866
weight to the components prescribed in divisions (D)(3)(a), (d), 867
(e), and (f) of this section. The individual weights of each of 868
the components prescribed in divisions (D)(3)(a), (d), (e), and 869
(f) of this section shall be equal to one-half the weight given 870
to the component prescribed in division (D)(3)(b) of this 871
section. 872
If the joint committee on agency rule review disapproves 873
the department's rules regarding the college, career, workforce, 874
and military readiness component as described in division (D)(3) 875
(f) of this section, division (D)(3)(g)(ii) of this section does 876
not apply. 877
