of the Ohio General Assembly with constituent work and communications, doing legislative research, attending meetings, and performing administrative duties. Telecommunications fellows assist in televising House and Senate proceedings and preparing educational video productions about the General Assembly and the legislative process. The program is open to graduates of all major fields of study who have a genuine interest in learning about state government, and no political experience is required. All applicants must have graduated from a four-year college degree program by the December start date. Those holding graduate or professional degrees are also encouraged to apply. The fellowships are fulltime, paid positions with eligibility for benefits applicable to other state employees. Application materials must be postmarked by April 1, 2014 to be considered for the pro-
days for teachers that may count toward the required minimum number of school days. Schools are currently allotted five calamity days for the year, with school districts making up days beyond the fifth. “Due to the extreme, ongoing weather conditions we have been experiencing, I believe it was absolutely necessary for us to extend the calamity days in an effort to maintain reasonableness in our school calendar,” said Representative Green. In addition to calamity days, schools already have the ability to make up three days through the use of “blizzard bags,” which are lesson plans and teaching materials prepared in advance of inclement weather. Starting with the 2014-2015 school year, schools will be switching from a measurement of days to hours for minimum instruction time. House Bill 416 will now be under consideration by the Ohio Senate.
