SUMMARY:Education Town Hall - Southeast Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Featured speakers: Rep. Jay Edwards (R) from 94th House District which includes Athens\, Meigs\, Vinton and Washington Counties; Sen. Frank Hoagland (represented by Aaron Dauterman) from Senate District 30 which includes Athens\, Belmont\, Carroll\, Harrison\, Jefferson\, Megis\, Monroe\, Noble\, Vinton\, and Washington Counties; and Taylor Sappington\, the declared Democratic 2018 candidate for the 94th House District. \nThe primary goal of the Town Hall is to give our legislators and candidates the opportunity to hear which education issues most concern their constituents and to inform their constituents of their position on education issues. \nAnother goal is to raise awareness of the current effort by the Ohio House Bipartisan Caucus on School Funding to revise Ohio’s currently unconstitutional funding method for public schools. Current reliance on property taxes to fund local schools causes deeper budget deficits in poorer school districts because they lack sufficient property valuation to generate adequate funding. Of the 116 school districts in Southern and Eastern Ohio\, 75 (60%) will be in deficit funding status by the next biennial budget. \nIf you believe that all the children of Ohio should be given the same opportunity to receive an adequate level of education regardless of where they live\, please join us and add your voice to the conversation!

SUMMARY:Petition Signing to Fund Ohio School Bus Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Education Works SEO is a non-partisan public education advocacy group that plans to unite southeastern Ohio voters in an effort to promote adequate and equitable funding for public schools. \nIts first public effort is a petition signing at a local arts fair this Saturday.  The petition asks the Ohio legislature to keep funding for school bus transportation at current levels and to reinstate the school bus purchase assistance that ended in 2009. \nThe Brick Street Arts Bash is sponsored by Marietta College and is free to the public. \nThe event is from 10 am to 10 pm in downtown Marietta.

SUMMARY:Ohio Graduation Requirements Workgroup
DESCRIPTION:Much has already been written about the coming “graduation crisis\,” which the Ohio Department of Education admits could result in 30 percent of Ohio’s students being prevented from receiving a diploma. \nIn Ohio’s urban centers\, the percentage of nongraduates could reach 60 percent to 70 percent. \nThis year’s juniors are the first graduating class required to satisfy the new requirements\, which demand earning a total of 18 points from 7 state assessments. Ohio’s graduation tests have changed vendor and/or form in each of their high school years. \nAs students and parents begin to panic\, and schools scramble to provide remediation for tens of thousands of retakes statewide\, some facts have gotten lost in the discussion. Most important among these is the fact that there is absolutely no federal regulation that insists graduation to be tied to standardized tests. \nOhio is one of only 13 states with this requirement. https://www.cleveland.com/opinion/index.ssf/2017/01/ohio_schools_coming_graduation.html \nThe State Board of Education’s Standards and Graduation Committee discussed Ohio’s graduation requirements during its December meeting. The committee\, and ultimately the full board\, passed a resolution to direct the Superintendent of Public Instruction to create a work group to review the graduation requirements and consider any alternative approaches as they relate to the class of 2018. \nThe superintendent will present a recommendation to the Standards and Graduation Committee by the April 2017 board meeting.

SUMMARY:WALK-IN for Public Schools
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools (AROS) is linking together parents\, educators\, students\, school staff and community members in dozens of cities across the country on October 6th as they WALK-IN to support the quality public schools that all our students deserve. \nOhio’s Cincinnati Educational Justice Coalition (CEJC) is joining with the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools (AROS) for the WALK IN to support the quality public schools that all our students deserve. \nAs public schools are increasingly threatened by a view of education that supports privatization\, zero-tolerance discipline policies\, less funding\, and high-stakes standardized tests\, the CEJC with AROS is fighting back with a broad vision of American public education that prioritizes racial justice\, equity and well-resourced\, world-class\, public community schools. \nWALK-INs in Cincinnati will include a list of demands that include no more charter school proliferation\, investment in the Community Learning Center model\, and better engagement by the district to include parent\, student\, and community voice in decision-making. https://www.facebook.com/events/1659539234370001/ \nJoin CEJC\, and WALK-IN to reclaim our schools and advocate for the public schools all children deserve!
