To

regarding
school district acquisition of preschool classroom facilities.

BE
IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section
1.
That
section 3318.72 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:

Sec.
3318.72.
(A)
As used in this section:

(1)
"Acquisition of classroom facilities" has the same meaning
as in section 3318.40 of the Revised Code.

(2)
"Classroom facilities" has the same meaning as in section
3318.01 of the Revised Code.

(3)
"Preschool program" means a child care program licensed
under sections 3301.52 to 3301.59 of the Revised Code.

(B)
The Ohio facilities construction commission shall establish
guidelines for assisting school district boards of education in the
acquisition of classroom facilities for a preschool program.

(C)
Upon receipt of a written proposal by the district board, the
commission shall provide funding to assist that district board in the
acquisition of classroom facilities. The proposal of the district
board shall be submitted in a form and in the manner prescribed by
the commission. The proposal shall indicate both the total amount of
funding requested from the commission and the amount of other funding
pledged for the acquisition of the classroom facilities, the latter
of which shall not be less than the total amount of funding requested
from the commission. Once the commission determines a proposal meets
its established guidelines, the commission shall enter into an
agreement with the district board for the acquisition of the
classroom facilities and shall encumber, in accordance with section
3318.11 of the Revised Code, the approved funding from the amounts
appropriated to the commission for classroom facilities assistance
projects. The agreement shall include a stipulation of the ownership
of the classroom facilities in the event the preschool program
permanently closes at any time.
