Join us for a critically important education event about equitable and reliable public funding.

Ohio House Bill 1 sponsors, State Representatives Jamie Callender ​(R-Concord) and Bride Sweeney (D-Cleveland), will explain why HB1 is a critical priority bill in the Statehouse and school superintendents will share why it is critical for their students and districts.
