The bill introduced by Senator Cutrona aims to establish a "success sequence" curriculum for students in grades six to twelve in Ohio. The success sequence is defined as a framework that emphasizes the importance of completing high school, obtaining full-time employment, and marrying before having children, as research indicates that following this sequence significantly reduces the likelihood of living in poverty in adulthood. The Department of Education and Workforce is tasked with reviewing and maintaining a list of curricula and resources that align with this framework, ensuring that they are based on sound research and demonstrate positive outcomes.

Additionally, the bill mandates that each school district board of education provide instruction aligned with the success sequence. Districts can choose from the approved curriculum list or develop their own curriculum that meets the success sequence criteria. The instruction must be integrated into existing courses or offered as separate courses, ensuring that students receive education that supports the principles of the success sequence. This initiative aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to improve their future economic stability.
