Three members of the Ohio State Board of Education publicly opposed an overhaul of the state education system on Tuesday.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
Responding to claims from legislators and the sponsor of the bill, state Sen. Bill Reineke, R-Tiffin, that the ODE has lacked accountability and accessibility, Newman said she traveled her district and asked superintendents and other members of the school community if they’d had problems reaching the ODE.
“If you’re concerned about the educational outcomes of our students and how our educational systems benefit Ohio’s children, more bureaucracy is not the answer,” Jackson said. “Having politicians run our schools instead of education professionals and locally elected representatives is not the answer.”
When asked by Brenner what moves Jackson has made as a member of the board to improve the education needs of the state, the board of ed members said, having been sworn in five weeks ago, he needed more time “to understand the dynamics, to understand the people who are in charge of things and to possibly build relationship to improve things.”
She emphasized the need for Ohio to remain a “local control state” where partnerships between local schools and communities take priority.
