Summary

HB 610 eliminates Ohio’s academic distress commissions and removes the statutory authority that could create new ones. It also revises related education statutes, including district borrowing limits, special‑needs district certification, energy‑conservation financing, community‑school restructuring, scholarship eligibility, and district consolidation rules. The goal is to simplify oversight and reduce administrative burdens on school districts and the state education department.
