THE COSHOCTON CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION

EMPLOYMENT OF SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS

     WHEREAS, the Coshocton City School District Board of Education (“Board of Education”) anticipates that the District may experience difficulty obtaining substitute teachers during the 2022-2023 school year; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to authority granted in Section 4 of Senate Bill 1, which was enacted by the 134th General Assembly and became effective as an emergency measure on October 28, 2021, the Board of Education was authorized to establish its own education requirements for individuals to serve as substitute teachers in the District during the 2021-2022 school year; and

     WHEREAS, the General Assembly has extended this authority for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years through enactment of House Bill 583; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Education desires to temporarily adopt modified education requirements for substitute teachers in accordance with the law during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years as a measure to help ensure availability of a sufficient number of substitute teachers.

     NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Coshocton City School District Board of Education as follows:

SECTION I

The Board of Education temporarily authorizes the employment of substitute teachers who do not hold post-secondary degrees, as is otherwise required pursuant to Ohio law and regulations, including Ohio Revised Code 3319.226 and 3319.30, Ohio Administrative Code Section 3301-23-44, and/or Board Policy 3120.04 - Employment of Substitutes, during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years. In addition to fulfilling the educational requirements adopted by the Board of Education, an individual must be of good moral character and must have completed all required criminal background checks, as well as obtained a valid non-renewable temporary substitute teaching license issued by the Ohio Department of Education to serve as a substitute teacher in the District.

SECTION II

It is found and determined that all formal action of this Board concerning or related to the adoption of this Resolution was adopted in an open meeting of this Board, and all deliberations of this Board and any of its committees that resulted in such formal actions were adopted in meetings open to the public, in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Ohio Revised Code.
