OAPCS Guidebook
The Ohio Charter Law Guidebook
The Ohio Charter Law Guidebook is designed as a practical tool for charter school leaders, governing board members, and anyone else who needs to delve into
the provisions of Ohio community school law. The format is topical, with summary abstracts and hyperlinks to transport the user directly to pertinent sections of Ohio Revised Code. Where appropriate, the guidebook provides information and links to other helpful resources.
Ohio law is ever-changing, and the Ohio Alliance for Public Charter Schools (OAPCS) is committed to revising our guidebook periodically to reflect the ongoing changes that occur in community school law. Also, this guide should not be construed to be definitive. If legal advice is needed, readers are encouraged to seek professional counsel.
We invite your comments, corrections, and suggestions on the book. Please contact the author, Stephanie Klupinski, Esq., Vice President of Legal and Legislative Affairs for OAPCS. She can be reached at (614) 744-2266 or [email protected].
OAPCS thanks the George Gund Foundation for their generous support of this project. Also, special thanks to the OAPCS interns who helped make this guide possible: Donald Lemming, Skylar de Jong, and Adrienne Chin-Perez.
Please note that in this Guidebook, the terms “charter school” and “community school” are used interchangeably.
