Education (K-12 Education)

SCR 16 is a non-binding resolution passed by the Ohio Assembly urging Congress to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. It does not affect individuals or change laws, but expresses support for ending federal control over K-12 education. The resolution directs Ohio to develop a plan to assume state control of federal education programs (like Title I funding and special education), including creating legislation and coordinating with other states. Key mechanisms include forming a task force to inventory federal programs and draft statutory changes, and collaborating with Congress to seek waivers or transfers of authority. The resolution was introduced in February 2026 and referred to committee.

To enact sections 3373.01, 3373.02, and 3373.03 of the Revised Code to prohibit a middle or high school athlete from earning compensation from the athlete's name, image, or likeness.
