Philanthropy Ohio recommends that any new school funding plan must be anchored in adequacy, predictability and equity in this policy briefing.

Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are vital components of a just society, and affirmative action measures are necessary to address the systemic barriers that have historically disadvantaged marginalized groups. I encourage all our members to engage in constructive dialogue, educate others about the importance of affirmative action and advocate for policies that promote equity and inclusivity.
