(A) The factors the department of
education and workforce will consider when applying a financial penalty may
include, but not be limited to, the following:
(1) Type of data
reporting issue;
(2) Magnitude of the data
reporting issue;
(3) Whether a good faith
effort was made by the reporting entity as determined by the
department.
(4) Withholdings applied
in similar situations with other reporting entities;
(5) Data reporting
history of the reporting entity; and
(6) The reporting
entity's response to previous withholdings and other actions taken by the
department regarding the reporting entity's data reporting
practices.
(B) If any action taken under division
(L)(2) of section 3301.0714 of the Revised Code resolves a reporting
entity's outstanding data reporting issues to the department's
satisfaction, the department will not take any further action described by that
division, except that the department may subject a reporting entity to
sanctions if the department determines that a data reporting issue has
reoccurred or the reporting entity has otherwise violated the reporting
provisions of section 3301.0714 of the Revised Code.
(C) Any time a reporting entity becomes
subject to a higher degree of sanctioning as provided for in division (L)(2) of
section 3301.0714 of the Revised Code, the department will notify the reporting
entity and its board of education or sponsor in writing of such an escalation
at least thirty days before the department withholds any additional funding as
a result of the higher degree of sanction along with the basis for such
withholding.
(D) In cases where a revised report card
is issued under division (L)(2)(d)(viii) of section 3301.0714 of the Revised
Code, the department will also identify the impact of issuing a revised report
card and include a statement to that effect with the notification.
