1,500,000 Ohio children are being left behind every year!
RED areas show Ohio children left behind in under funded schools.
The Northwest Territory from which Ohio emerged led the world in
establishing public education as a pillar of democracy and economic
growth.
But in Ohio, state leaders have defied
4 Ohio Supreme Court orders to fix the school funding
system.
Gov. Taft has even REDUCED school funding!
Isn’t it time we restored Ohio’s legacy of education,
economic growth and our democratic government?
Tired of This? Then Do Something About It! ACT NOW
Enact REAL school funding reform that helps ALL children.
