State Board of Education

Seven of the Democratic members of Ohio's state board of education are suing to stop a provision in the state budget that transfers the authority to make many important decisions from the board to the governor.

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

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.

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.
