The bill amends sections 3314.03 and 3326.11 of the Revised Code and enacts new sections 3313.7118 and 3707.61, which require the Ohio Department of Health to develop and distribute informational materials about type 1 diabetes for parents and guardians of elementary school students. Each public and chartered nonpublic school serving these students must provide the materials upon enrollment, aiming to enhance awareness and understanding of type 1 diabetes among families. This initiative underscores the importance of health education in schools and the role of parents in managing their children's health conditions, ultimately promoting better health outcomes.

Additionally, the bill introduces new responsibilities for sponsors of community schools, focusing on compliance monitoring, academic and fiscal performance evaluation, and technical assistance provision. It outlines actions for sponsors to take in cases of underperformance, such as declaring probationary status or terminating contracts, and allows for contract renewal under satisfactory conditions. The bill also mandates the creation of comprehensive informational materials on type 1 diabetes, covering essential aspects such as risk factors and treatment recommendations, while repealing existing sections of the Revised Code related to community schools to ensure alignment with the new provisions.
