Ohio Department of Education (superseded)

The state education agency from 1956 until 2023, governed by the State Board of Education — a board with elected and appointed members — and headed by a Superintendent of Public Instruction the board selected rather than the Governor. verified Across those decades ODE computed and disbursed the foundation payments, which makes it the publisher of record for nearly every per-district state aid figure before FY2024.

The governance structure is the reason it is a separate node rather than a renamed predecessor. ODE answered to an independent board; its successor answers to the Governor. That is a change in who controls the agency that administers the formula, and it is invisible if the two are collapsed into one node. inference
