The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce annually evaluates community school sponsors on three components:

  1. The academic performance of the community schools they sponsor.
  2. Their compliance with all applicable laws and rules.
  3. Their adherence to quality sponsoring practices.

The materials listed below are available to sponsors to help facilitate the evaluation process.


NOTE: In June, the 135th Ohio General Assembly passed Senate Bill 168, which included the following provision:  …the Department shall not evaluate community school sponsors for the 2024-2025 school year, unless a sponsor elects to be evaluated.
