Many operate within frameworks established by the Ohio Revised Code and coordinate with bodies such as the Ohio High School Athletic Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Historical influences include reform movements tied to figures like John Dewey and federal acts like the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 as applied in Ohio.
District governance is exercised by elected boards similar to the Cuyahoga County Board of Commissioners model at the county level and locally elected school boards in places such as Springfield and Mason.
