LibGuides: Ohio School Law: Home

Introduction

Ohio's K-12 schools are governed by various laws, both state and federal. This guide will present some of the most important of these statutes and rules. Please see our my guide, Education of Students with Disabilities: Federal and State Laws for more laws. If you are looking for employment laws that apply to teachers and other school personnel, also see my guide on Employment Law: Ohio and Federal.

HR Desktop Reference to School Law
The idea to offer a helpful, complimentary desktop reference guide for school board members and school administrators originated with the members of the 2011 Ohio Council of School Board Attorneys (OCSBA) Executive Committee. Members of the 2014 and 2017 OCSBA executive committees reviewed and revised the content, which is current through April 2017. This reference guide seeks to provide concise information describing the employment laws directly related to public school employment in Ohio.
