Drafts of the 2025-2026 Sponsor Evaluation Tools
Note: Per Senate Bill 168, the Department is required to make legislative recommendations for a redesign of the sponsor evaluation. However, the Department is still statutorily required to post the 2025-2026 sponsor evaluation for public comment and is proceeding with posting these documents. As such, the 2025-2026 sponsor evaluation drafts for public comment are subject to change.
Pursuant to
ORC 3314.016 (B)(1) the Department of Education and Workforce shall develop and implement an evaluation system that annually rates and assigns an overall rating to each entity that sponsors a community school. The Department, not later than the first day of February of each year, shall post on the Department's web site the framework for the evaluation system, including technical documentation that the department intends to use to rate sponsors for the next school year.
Below are drafts of the 2025-2026 technical document, change logs and instruments to be used for the academic, quality and compliance components of the 2025-2026 community school sponsor evaluation. These documents were posted for public comment January 31 - March 3, 2025. The final versions of the 2025-2026 sponsor evaluation tools will be posted by July 15, 2025.
