Jamie Callender is an attorney, college professor, and former member of the Ohio General Assembly. He was elected as a Republican State Representative for Ohio's 70th and 62nd districts. He was limited to a maximum of four terms in the state legislature. After practicing law full-time as a partner at Buckley King LPA, he founded Callender Law Group and The Callender Group, education law and consulting firms based in Concord and Columbus, Ohio, and Nashville, Tennessee. Callender is also an adjunct professor of political science at Kent State University for the Columbus Program in Intergovernmental Issues. In his spare time, he is a certified Master Scuba Diver, an FAA IR Certified Pilot, a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and Society of American Magicians, and member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International.
In 1997, Jamie Callender was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives for four terms (maximum under term limits) to represent District 70 (& eventually District 62), of western Lake County, which includes Concord Township, Eastlake, Kirtland, Kirtland Hills, Lakeline, Mentor-on-the-Lake, Timberlake, Waite Hill, Wickliffe, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills, and Willowick. 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.
