OH HB557

Adds "directory information held by a public school" to the definition of records excluded from public records requirements under Ohio law, allowing schools to withhold such information from disclosure.

Permits schools to remove directory information from public records by classifying it separately, requiring parental consent before release of student directory data.

Modifies Section 3319.321 to allow school districts to elect whether to release directory information that was previously required to be made available to certain entities like armed forces recruiters and employers.

Allows schools to impose restrictions on directory information release while maintaining existing protections for other personally identifiable student information.
