Sec.
3301.0717.
(A)
As used in this section, "success sequence" means a
three-pronged framework for youth and young adults based on research
from diverse institutions that individuals who complete at least a
high school education, obtain full-time work, and marry before having
children are overwhelmingly less likely to live in poverty in
adulthood.
(B)
The department of education and workforce shall review and maintain a
list of curriculum and resources for grades six to twelve about the
success sequence. Any curriculum or resources on this list shall
include, and be consistent with, evidence, identified using the best
research methods available, describing the positive personal and
societal outcomes associated with the success sequence.
Sec.
3313.6025.
(A)
Each school district board of education shall provide instruction
that is aligned with the success sequence, as defined in section
3301.0717 of the Revised Code using any of the following:
(1)
A curriculum on the list reviewed and maintained by the department of
education and workforce under section 3301.0717 of the Revised Code;
(2)
A different curriculum that is aligned with the success sequence;
(3)
A curriculum that integrates instruction that is aligned with the
success sequence with the curriculum requirements in divisions
(A)(5)(b) to (g) of section 3313.60 of the Revised Code.
(B)
Each district shall include instruction under this section in one or
more courses offered under division (C) of section 3313.603 of the

separate course in which it provides instruction in the subjects
listed in divisions (A)(5)(b) to (g) of section 3313.60 of the
Revised Code.
