The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce has moved its November English Language Instruction Office Hours off the originally announced date, according to a departmental bulletin issued Nov. 10.
The session had been set for Thursday, Nov. 12, from 10 to 11 a.m. It is now scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 3, in the same one-hour window, the department said. The bulletin did not give a reason beyond an apology for the change.
Educators and other participants who already signed up do not need to take any steps; the department said their registrations carry over to the December date automatically. Anyone who has not registered can still do so through the sign-up link in the bulletin.
A list of available sessions and further details are posted on the department's English Learner webpage. Questions can be directed to lau@education.ohio.gov.
The bulletin also restated the department's accessibility commitment under the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws. Accommodation requests should reach the ADA coordinator at ADAaccommodation@education.ohio.gov or 614-369-4919 at least three business days before the session. Requests submitted within 72 hours of the event may not be fulfillable, though the department said it will make every effort.
The department closed by thanking participants for their flexibility and saying it looks forward to connecting with them in December.
