[quote:Anonymous Coward 84477481:MV81MzA0MzEyXzk3Nzc0NDU2X0NBOTI5QjlF] [quote:SafeandSound:MV81MzA0MzEyXzk3Nzc0MDQwXzNERTNBNzM2] It puts all Education law under the control of one unelected political appointee. Each time we would have a new administration we would potentially have vastly different laws that must be followed and would have no recourse since that education director would not be accountable to anyone but the state governor. Got a governor who appreciates parental rights and local control? It would likely be ok. [b]Got a governor or administration that either doesn’t understand home education or has a bias against it? We could have required home visits, superintendent approval, or required teacher certification or any of the other abuses and harassment we see (increasing) each year[/b] with the stroke of a pen written as law that must be followed.

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.
