The Ordinance of 1787 that established the territory included the statement “Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall be encouraged.” The 1802 Ohio Constitution includes instructions to the General Assembly to “secure a thorough and efficient system of common schools throughout the state.” The Ohio Department of Education is responsible for the oversight of public primary and secondary education in the state, although the direct providers of educational services are the local school districts (as of 1999, there were 612). The Department of Education is governed by a State Board of Education established in 1956. The Governor appoints some of the members of this Board and the others are directly elected by the state’s voters. The Board’s responsibilities include the following: Formulating the administrative policies on instruction, teaching materials, buildings, equipment, transportation of pupils, finance, and school district organization. Apportioning state and federal funds to elementary and secondary schools. Prescribing minimum school standards. Determining the professional requirements for teachers and other educators employed by school districts. Operating the state schools for the blind and the deaf. Hearing important issues as a board of review. Giving leadership in the improvement of public education, including necessary planning and evaluation.
