Senate Republicans are expected to vote to change who controls public education. Plan would give more power to the governor's office over education.
The 2,100-page bill would rename the Ohio Department of Education as the Department of Education and Workforce and create a new leadership structure within that organization.
All of the state board's current education responsibilities such as curriculum, implementation of new laws, strategic planning would transfer to this new director. The board would keep control over teacher licensing and territory transfers."This bill proposes placing more power in the executive branch, which will silence the public's voice, access, and transparency regarding education policymaking," Ohio Federation of Teachers President Melissa Cropper said.
Cropper and others like Democratic Sen. Paula Hicks-Hudson worry that the public will lose that direct contact with the people who craft big-picture education policy if those duties go to a member of the governor's cabinet.Though the idea of giving the executive branch more control over public education has been around since George Voinovich was governor in the early 1990s, this particular bill wasn't dropped until after the November elections.
