Huffman Introduces
Bill to Scale Back Administrative School Mandates
COLUMBUS - State Senator Matt Huffman (R-Lima) today introduced the
Ohio Public School Deregulation Act, which is legislation designed to
reduce the amount of unnecessary mandates and regulations affecting
Ohio’s public schools.
"All too often what sounds like a good idea in Columbus translates
instead to burdensome paperwork and tedious tasks that distract
teachers and superintendents from their primary role in our
schools—educating students," said Senator Huffman.
The bill, named the Ohio Public School Deregulation Act, addresses a
myriad of education topics and standards including teacher licensure
and aide permits, Ohio teacher evaluation systems, state testing and
student assessment, student management and safety, college credit plus
and the preschool operating standards, all of which are either
contained in the Revised Code or currently sheltered in agency rule.
"These issues take up an absurd amount of teacher and administrator
time and labor, which could be used more appropriately to deliver
quality education to Ohio’s children," Huffman added.
