JAROD'S LAW

WHAT IS JAROD'S LAW?

A law that was created because of the avoidable death of a young boy. The death was caused by a cafeteria lunch table that collapsed on the child. If the tables and/or other equipment in schools were properly inspected, this accident and similar ones wouldn't have happened. Thus the state signed this law into effect to ensure all school districts and the health department take the necessary steps to do thorough inspections on school equipment.

Key elements of the law :

• Creation of the School Health and Safety Network
• Annual school inspections for unsafe health, safety, and sanitation conditions by the Ohio State Board of Health
• Publicly available published inspection reports for each school
• Mandatory written plans, including timeframes, for remediation of each item identified as not within compliance by the inspection.
• Review of school’s remediation plans, by the Boards of Health to ensure proper compliance
• Auditing and review by State of Ohio Auditor’s office to ensure overall integrity of School Health and Safety Network program.
