Ohio's career standard, criterion by criterion: 2 of 15 matched, 13 not claimed.

Ohio compels a middle-grades career plan by law. Ohio compels it by statute, and has since the 2015-2016 school year. Section 3313.6020(A)(1) of the Revised Code: "the board of education of each city, local, exempted village, and joint vocational school district shall adopt a policy on career advising that complies with this section. Thereafter, the policy shall be updated at least once every two years." Every district, no opt-out, re-adopted every two years. But read what the duty attaches to before reading the table: it attaches to the district’s own written policy, and section (B) then lists what that policy must specify. A vendor cannot adopt a district’s policy, train its staff or design its high-school pathways, so this is a mandate no product discharges — what a product can do is supply material the policy points at. That is why the direct column on this page is empty and why nearly every row below is not claimed. It is a fact about the shape of Ohio’s law, not a gap in the product, and we would rather say so than quietly count the statute the way we count a standards document.

Ohio Revised Code § 3313.6020 — Career advising policy: the fifteen duties a district’s policy must discharge, in the statute’s own divisions, published by Ohio General Assembly / Legislative Service Commission, codes.ohio.gov — the official publication of the Revised Code, grades 6-12. This is the only source on the hub that is a statute rather than a document of standards, and it is deliberate. Ohio’s pedagogical companion is the Department of Education and Workforce’s Career Connections Framework — the very thing division (B)(1) permits a district to use, by its cross-reference to section 3301.079(B)(2) of the Revised Code. We read that framework too, and it carries no numbered criteria of any kind: it is a one-page graphic of four developmental panels, each with a focus sentence and a bullet list of named local programmes. There is nothing in it to line a product up against row by row, and a crosswalk built on it would have had to invent its own numbering and then present that as Ohio’s. The statute has the state’s own divisions and is what a district’s policy is actually audited against, so the statute is what we crosswalk. Method, for the record: the statute was read from codes.ohio.gov; education.ohio.gov rejected a direct fetch of the framework at its perimeter, so that document was read through a read-through proxy. Three divisions of the section bind the district, and all fifteen of their duties are on the table below: (A), two duties about adopting the policy and publishing it; (B), the ten things the policy "shall specify how the district will do"; and (C), three duties about students identified as at risk of dropping out. Division (D) is not crosswalked, and the omission is deliberate rather than an oversight — its three paragraphs bind the department of education and workforce, not the district, so a district reading this page cannot be audited against them and a count including them would inflate the denominator with rows nobody expects a vendor to touch. Two more things a reviewer should have in writing. First, the grammatical subject of every one of the fifteen is the district or its board, never the student: this document says nothing about what a twelve-year-old should be able to do, which is exactly what the other states on this hub publish, and the two kinds of criteria must never be added into one number. Second, the span. The statute reaches grades six through twelve and division (B)(2) says so in those words; the middle grades sit inside it. This is the only page on the hub whose grade band is not a middle-grades band, and comparing its fifteen with another state’s totals means comparing a district’s duties across seven grades with a student’s performance across three.

It means the platform produces the artefact the criterion asks for with nothing a teacher has to add. No Ohio criterion is closed that way, and the count on this page is zero rather than absent. Every claim below is the weaker kind, and each row says so.

It means the platform supplies the data or the assessment result and a teacher runs the classroom half — it is weaker, and it is labelled separately for that reason. 2 criteria are closed this way: (B)(7) and (B)(9). A plan a system wrote for the student would not satisfy the standard, and claiming it would not be worth much either.

Because the 0 and the 2 are different kinds of evidence — one is work the software does on its own, the other is work a teacher does with something the software supplies — and merging them into one headline number would flatter the platform at your expense. Every row states which of the two it is, and the counts are shown as separate pills rather than added together.

We make no claim on them. No JobCannon surface — assessment, career-page field or glossary entry — addresses them, and they are listed exactly as plainly as the 2 we do claim: same row format, same visual weight, a stated "not claimed" rather than an absence.

The codes in the left-hand column are Ohio’s own, printed exactly as the Revised Code divides the section, and you can quote them back to the state as they stand: a row reading (B)(7) is division (B)(7) of section 3313.6020 of the Revised Code. Every criterion text in the right-hand column is verbatim from codes.ohio.gov, including the statute’s cross-references to other sections, which are quoted where they appear and not followed here. Division (D) is absent from the column by decision, for the reason given where the standard is described on this page.

The text read here is the version effective 3 October 2023, amended by House Bill 33 of the 135th General Assembly, carrying the line "Last updated July 31, 2023 at 5:16 PM" on the state’s own page. codes.ohio.gov lists three versions of this section — 17 September 2014 (House Bill 487, 130th General Assembly), 21 July 2022 (Senate Bill 135, 134th General Assembly) and the 2023 text crosswalked here — and links each one, so a district working from an older edition can see for itself what moved. The document itself is linked at the top of the table, so you can check any row against the source rather than take our word for it.
