Ohio's State System of Support
House Bill 115
(126th General Assembly) was introduced by State
Representative Arlene Setzer on March 8, 2005 to establish the
Educational Regional Service System to support state and regional
school improvement initiatives and promote a simplified approach to
regional service delivery that was more coordinated than the
existing system.
AM. Sub. H.B. 115 was signed into law by Governor Bob Taft on June
23, 2006. and became effective 90 days later on September 22, 2006.
Several provisions contained within the measure were subsequently
amended in Am. Sub. H.B. 79 (126th General
Assembly).
OESCA created the guide ERSS Explained to assist its membership
in understanding the legislative intent of the new system and the
roles and responsibilities of each component part of the
system.
