Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 3301.19, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 3301.19.
The department of education and workforce shall administer a program to support school
boards that voluntarily adopt and implement plans of student transfers to desegregate
schools within their districts. To be eligible for such support, both of the following must apply: (A) The district must have a minority enrollment of between twenty-five and seventy-five
per cent, according to the most recent racial and ethnic census of the district prepared
by the department; (B) The school board must adopt and submit to the department, not later than the first
day of October, a plan for reducing racial isolation through the transfer of not fewer
than fifty students in the district. The plan must provide for any or all of the following: (1) The transfer of minority students from a school with greater than the average minority
composition of the district to a school with less than the average minority composition
of the district; (2) The transfer of majority students from a school with less than the average minority
composition of the district to a school with more than the average minority composition
of the district; (3) The transfer of minority or majority students to designated schools if the transfers
cause the racial composition of the designated schools to more closely approximate
the student racial composition of the entire district taken as a whole. The department shall pay the school district an amount equal to four hundred dollars
per student transferred, except that if all payments required to be made under this
section during the fiscal year exceed the appropriation for the purpose, the payment
to each school district shall be proportionately reduced. The school board may spend the amount received only on activities other than transportation
that support the reduction of racial isolation. In the case of a transfer from a school that is being permanently closed or that
results from a permanent change in the boundary of a school attendance zone, payment
shall be made only for the initial year the transfer is made. In the case of any other kind of transfer, payment shall be made for each fiscal
year the transfer occurs.
