Philanthropy Ohio’s Education Initiative coalition has developed a series of targeted briefing papers aimed at helping the state’s early childhood, K-12 and post-secondary education leaders, elected officials and other key stakeholders plot a clear direction for the future of education and improved student success. It is our hope that these briefing papers will help guide Ohio leaders during upcoming policy discussions, including Ohio’s next budget.
View and download resources from the February Health Initiative Meeting, which provided an overview of the state’s budget as it relates to investments in the health and wellness of Ohioans. The Ohio Department of Education presented data on how Student Wellness and Success dollars was used toward mental health and in-school health programming. Health Policy Institute of Ohio staff presented their Eliminating Racial Disparities in Infant Mortality report. We also heard from the Ohio Department of Health about their health priorities, COVID-19 vaccinations and how the philanthropic sector can be a partner.
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.
