COLUMBUS, Ohio-In Ohio, a recent bill passed by the House and Senate could substantially increase the cost for teachers to renew their licenses. Currently, it costs about $200 to renew every four years, but a provision in Senate Bill 117 could escalate this fee by up to 75%. This change was intended to allocate $4.66 million to the State Board of Education for licensing purposes, but the House modification could lead to higher fees if not addressed.
