As Chairman of the Ohio House Education Committee, Representative Callender was an integral part of the creation of Ohio's charter school laws and shepherding legislative reforms thereafter as a champion of community ("charter") schools. He was instrumental in creating "value added" as a measurement of a child's educational progress. Representative Callender was appointed as Ohio's representative on the Education Commission of the States (ECS), and worked closely with the Bush administration and various state governors to develop the national education standards and accountability measurements as used today – work that led to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act.

Ohio state Representative Jamie Callender

In 1997, Callender was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives, and would be elected three more times.[3] As Chairman of the Ohio House Education Committee, Callender was involved in the creation of Ohio's charter school laws and later legislative reforms related to community ("charter") schools, and the introduction of the concept of "value added" as a measurement of a child's educational progress.[4] Callender was also appointed as Ohio's representative on the Education Commission of the States (ECS), which worked with the Bush administration and various state governors to develop national education standards and accountability measurements, work which led to the No Child Left Behind Act.[5]

In 2004, Callendar was term limited from the state House and unsuccessfully ran for the state Senate, losing in the Republican primary to Tim Grendell.[6] In 2018, he successfully returned to the Ohio House, winning an open seat similar to the seat he previously represented.[7]

In 2021, Callender introduced an overhaul of the state's education funding system, the Ohio Fair School Funding Plan (HB 1).[8]
