Bill to Provide Ashtabula Lakeside High School a Waiver on Instructional Hours Signed by Ohio Governor

COLUMBUS-House Bill 43, a measure championed by State Representative Sarah Fowler Arthur (R-Ashtabula), Monday was signed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.

This law will waive the required minimum instructional hours for Ashtabula Lakeside High School due to the school building being unusable after the roof collapsed.

"I appreciate the Governor's swift consideration and approval of this legislation," said Fowler Arthur. "This critical law will ensure high school seniors will be able to graduate on time and the school will remain eligible for full state funding during the upcoming school year."

The Department of Education and Workforce will be authorized to waive no more than 24 hours of the 1,001 hours that are required for a public school in Ohio.
