Policy Matters releases three “Budget Bites” with targeted recommendations
Policy Matters Ohio released three “Budget Bites” today that point the way to expanding opportunity and creating stability for all Ohioans by increasing support for public higher education, child care and kinship care.
“We all deserve to live in a state that sets us up for success, no matter what we look like or the size of our bank accounts,” said Policy Matters Communications Director Caitlin Johnson. “Certain politicians want to send our public resources to their corporate and ultra-wealthy backers at the expense of our families and our communities. We can use our state budget to make sure our children grow up in healthy homes and have support to go where their dreams and abilities take them.”
Educators, parents, community groups and policy experts form All In For Ohio Kids
Today, All In For Ohio Kids officially kicked off its campaign to fully and fairly fund Ohio’s public schools with a virtual press conference.
The coalition, made up of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC), Ohio Federation of Teachers (OFT), Policy Matters Ohio and the Ohio Education Association (OEA) is calling on state lawmakers to pass the Fair School Funding Plan (FSFP), which the Ohio House of Representatives included in their version of the 2022-23 state budget passed earlier this month. It’s now in the hands of the Ohio Senate.
