Ohio State Board of Education

The budget passed by the Ohio House would remove elected members from the state school board and reduce the board to five members appointed by the governor.

After three years on Ohio’s state school board, Christina Collins of Medina has tendered her resignation, effective at the end of this year.

Though there have been some changes to it, the bill still has its share of opponents.

The resolution, which doesn't carry any legal weight, has been debated by the board for months now.

Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, said the measure has been considered by Ohio governors for years and to him it's a matter of accountability.

Ohio lawmakers are considering a bill that would take power away from school board members while other provisions would change the makeup of the board.

The board is set to consider three proposals Monday morning that oppose anti-discrimination policy recently adopted by the Biden administration.

A new federal anti-discrimination policy being added to Title IX has prompted Ohio's school board members to react with different plans.

The board's president and another member resigned last month over a vote to take back an anti-racism resolution passed after the George Floyd demonstrations in 2020.

And as with many things these days, politics are playing a role in the controversy over who gets elected to public school boards this November.
