Summary

The bill changes Ohio law so that a board of education member who is deployed in the U.S. Armed Forces or Ohio National Guard is not counted as absent for attendance requirements. It also allows those members to participate in meetings via teleconference or video. This protects elected officials serving in the military from losing their seats due to deployment.
