Commission Background
The Ohio School Facilities Commission was created in May 1997 as a separate and distinct state agency to oversee the rebuilding of Ohio's public schools. Prior to the creation of the Commission, state school construction projects were administered by the Ohio Department of Education.

Through this unprecedented partnership between the State of Ohio and local school districts, deteriorating, overcrowded and inefficient school facilities are being renovated or entirely rebuilt to meet the educational delivery needs of students in the 21st Century.

2008 Commission Meeting Schedule
The Commission typically meets monthly to approve contracts and other project-related policy matters. Commission meetings, usually held at 1:30 pm in the William McKinley Room at the Statehouse, are open to the public.
