Bill > SB156

This bill requires the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce to develop standards and a model curriculum about the "success sequence" for students in grades six through twelve. The success sequence is defined as a framework suggesting that individuals who complete high school, obtain full-time work, and marry before having children are significantly less likely to experience poverty in adulthood. The bill mandates that school districts provide instruction on the success sequence aligned with state-developed standards, which must be based on evidence of positive personal and societal outcomes. The department will establish a review committee including school board members and parents to evaluate the standards and curriculum. The bill also requires the department to develop instructional materials and allows for potential revisions based on input from educators, higher education representatives, and business leaders. School districts will be required to incorporate the success sequence instruction into existing courses and may use or modify the model curriculum as appropriate for their specific district, with all rules and standards needing to be consistent with research-based evidence about the potential benefits of following the success sequence.
