The Ohio Department of Education will release more state report-card data next week.

The state board of education voted to release an expanded report-card spreadsheet including the grade rating, number of state indicators met, attendance rate and performance index.

The state released partial report-card information Sept. 26. The full release was delayed because of an ongoing attendance audit by state Auditor Dave Yost’s office.
