The bill proposes the enactment of section 3302.27 of the Revised Code, which establishes the Outstanding Citizenship Award designation on the state report card for school districts in Ohio. To qualify for this award, a school district must implement specific requirements, including providing time for students to recite the pledge of allegiance and observe a moment of silence at the beginning of each school day, as well as encouraging students to read the founding documents of Ohio and the United States. Additionally, the district must ensure that at least 80% of high school students demonstrate proficiency on American history and government end-of-course examinations.

Furthermore, the bill allocates a grant of $500 to each district that receives the Outstanding Citizenship Award, which must be used to cover transportation costs for students to visit the Ohio statehouse and museum. The total appropriation for this initiative is $350,000 for each of the fiscal years 2025 and 2026, designated for the Department of Education and Workforce to support the issuance of these grants.
