Over two hundred central Ohio educators and parents came together on Wednesday night to denounce proposed cuts to school funding in Governor Mike DeWine’s biennial budget. They expressed concerns about potential staffing cuts, increases in fees, and reductions in programming that would impact students. The group specifically called on Representative Brian Stewart to update the Fair School Funding Plan to reflect the current economy. Parents and educators emphasized the importance of providing a fully-funded, high-quality education for all students. They expressed disappointment in being used as pawns in a political game and urged lawmakers to prioritize the needs of children. Despite reaching out to Representative Stewart’s office, no response to their concerns was received. The group highlighted the impact of potential funding cuts on students and taxpayers who supported district levies in November. They emphasized the urgency of adequately funding education and called on legislators to do their job in supporting students. The community’s rallying cry for student support and educational resources continues as they await a response from their representatives.
