This measure now moves to the Ohio House of Representatives. We will send out an update as soon as it is assigned to a House Committee and when Committee hearings are scheduled. It will be QUICK because time in this session is running out.

In the meantime IMMEDIATE ACTION: It would be very helpful to contact your own State Representative. It is a quick call to ask for a NO vote when this comes to the House floor. As proponents are marketing this bill as the only way to fix our educational system, it is not. Sub SB 178 REMOVES elected representation for ALL students and parents in Ohio. This is especially a problem for home educated students and religious 08 non chartered schools.

There are House Republicans who will vote NO. Be encouraged that your calls and emails WILL make a difference. Four years ago this same legislation from the same proponents could not get enough support in the House. This is a busy time of year but this issue is critically important. Please consider making contact with your member and take an extra step to share this message with friends and family.

Here is a link to the original alert for background information.
