State Board of Education adopted a resolution stating the Board does not support HB 70 of the 131st General Assembly
The State Board of Education unanimously passed a resolution indicating the Board does not support HB 70. The resolution was adopted after hearing testimony from representatives of Lorain, East Cleveland and Youngstown. Thanks to Board member Nick Owens for forwarding a copy of the resolution.
The Ohio House of Representatives enacted legislation that essentially would repeal HB 70 with only a handful of no votes. Then the House amended the HB 70 repeal bill into the House version of the budget.
The Senate should leave the repeal language in the budget. HB 70 has been an embarrassment to Ohio and thus needs to be buried out of sight.

ALEC’s Scott Lipps, an Ohio House Representative, was one of the no’s. If he lacks voting integrity and serves the Koch’s, it will be obvious from his lock step voting in support of ALEC- drafted law. I’d bet money on his votes.
Sen. Sherrod Brown in his latest form letter response about education concludes with, “I will continue to support efforts to adequately educate our future workforce.” Ohioans can count on Brown to adhere to the establishment Dem script- education’s value is limited to the goals that the richest 0.1% identify. The only good thing to say about Brown is he’s a Dem in a red state and he’s not the notorious W. Va. Manchin, father of Mylan CEO (infamous for Epipen price hikes and how she got her college degree in W. Va.)
Ohio taxpayers pay more than citizens of any other state for TFA’ers- $2 mil. for 103 recruits. How many are employed by Fordham sponsored schools? The Fordham site identifies 12 schools with 5400 students in Ohio.
What’s TFA turnover in Ohio?
