The bill would significantly change decision making about academic standards, on guidance on curriculum, and on school district ratings.

Supporters of the bill say the changes would promote more accountability and transparency. But teachers’ unions and advocacy groups say lawmakers are rushing the bill. The 2,000 page bill only has around a week to get Ohio House approval before the legislative session ends. Speaker of the House Bob Cupp says discussion are ongoing.
