Order Online : "The State of Ohio"
This week on "The State of Ohio": State lawmakers consider what they can do in the wake of the horrible and yet miraculous escape story out of Cleveland involving three women held prisoner in a house for a decade. New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group. And more thoughts on legislation that would dramatically change rules on unions in Ohio.
 

More than three dozen school districts getting federal Race to the Top funding.
By Jo Ingles - June 29, 2011
Forty-five school districts will be receiving money from the federal Race to the Top program. Gov. John Kasich says this will give those schools millions of dollars to fund new ways of teaching kids science and math skills.



Kasich says about half of Ohio’s school districts are participating in the Race to the Top program. He thinks all of them should be and says parents should ask school leaders who’ve chosen not to participate why they made that decision. Kasich says his office is working with teachers to establish criteria for teacher evaluation - something he says is necessary in the Race to the Top funding.
