Moratorium Declared on State School Takeovers New Ohio Graduation Rules Ready

July 22, 2019

https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190716/moratorium-declared-on-state-school-takeovers-new-ohio-graduation-rules-ready

 

“The state budget deal imposing a moratorium on new Academic Distress Commissions tacitly admits what educators, parents and students have known all along—that state takeovers don’t work. Sadly, the legislature leaves the communities of Youngstown, Lorain and East Cleveland languishing under a failing law until they can finally figure out how to give districts struggling with high levels of poverty the support they need. As we continue the fight to pass HB 154 to repeal state takeovers and restore local control, I am deeply disappointed in the decision to allow CEOs to continue wreaking havoc on our schools.” 

Scott Dimauro, Ohio Education Association President, 7/16/2019, Facebook

Urge your Sen. to Oppose Voucher Provisions in the Sub. Budget Bill (HB 166)

The Senate’s substitute bill includes several provisions related to the EdChoice voucher program that serve to expand the eligibility, availability, and cost of vouchers.  OEA opposes these changes. OEA believes these funds would be better applied to the approximately 90% of students who attend Ohio’s local public schools.
