Philanthropy Ohio and the State Board of Education encourage educators, funders, parents, students and community members to engage in community conversations to provide input on Ohio’s Draft Strategic Education Plan, which will create a unified system that results in success for each student.
Today Philanthropy Ohio presented the feedback from its 10 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) regional meetings to the State Board of Education and other state policy leaders. The ESSA state plan (replacing No Child Left Behind) must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Education in early 2017.
That $750 million price tag is what’s causing distress among education advocates, including Lisa Gray with Philanthropy Ohio, a group that supports strong standards and effective assessments.
