The bill amends sections 3314.03 and 3326.11 of the Revised Code and enacts new sections 3313.7118 and 3707.61, requiring the Ohio Department of Health to develop informational materials about type 1 diabetes for parents and guardians of elementary school students. It mandates that public and chartered nonpublic schools serving these students provide the materials upon enrollment, aiming to enhance awareness and understanding of type 1 diabetes among families. This initiative integrates health education into the school environment, promoting better health literacy and support for families affected by the condition.

Additionally, the bill outlines new responsibilities for sponsors of community schools, including monitoring compliance with laws and contract terms, evaluating performance annually, and providing technical assistance. It allows for contract renewals under specific conditions and stipulates that contracts become void if a community school fails to open within a year or closes before the contract's expiration. The bill also includes provisions for the Department of Health to create and disseminate educational resources on type 1 diabetes, ensuring that essential information is readily available online. Existing sections 3314.03 and 3326.11 are repealed to harmonize the law with these new requirements.
