In 1996, the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 230, authorizing the establishment of Local Professional Development Committees (LPDCs). Such committees are to be established in every school district and chartered nonpublic school by September 1998. The purpose of the committees is to review the course work and other professional activities proposed and completed by educators within the district to determine if the requirements for renewal of certificates or licenses have been met.

Based on the Local Professional Development Committee's review, the Ohio Department of Education will continue to issue teaching certificates and licenses, and the certificates and licenses will be valid across the state. Review by a district's Local Professional Development Committee does not mean the educator will be qualified to work only in that district; the certificate or license will be valid for working in any district in Ohio
