Ohio NEEDS Fair School Funding NOW




Please share this information throughout your networks (personal and professional). We need as many Ohioans as possible attending to 1) learn about the longstanding issues with public school funding, 2) learn how those issues can be readily solved, and 3) become advocates for equitable and sound school funding in their communities.


Equitable Public School Funding: Why It Matters & How to Get There is a statewide collaboration hosted by REAL TALK on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, at 7pm ET. It will feature an expert panel of bipartisan State Legislators, Ohio School Treasurers, and Ohio Superintendents who will explain how the state can move from an inadequate unconstitutional funding system to an equitable, responsive, and comprehensive funding model using the Fair School Funding PlanPlease find event details on the REAL TALK website at www.RealTalkLWV.org.
