Columbus, OH – Greg R. Lawson, a research fellow at The Buckeye Institute who has testified and written on reforming Ohio’s education bureaucracy, commented on the Ohio Senate passing Senate Bill 178, which now goes to the Ohio House for consideration.

“The passage of Senate Bill 178 represents an opportunity for Ohio to take a bold step to improve K-12 education. For years, Ohioans have seen high school graduates unprepared for the workforce and unable to earn a living, afford a house, or support a family. By reforming the State Board of Education and the Ohio Department of Education, Senate Bill 178 will better align education with the needs of employers and help overcome historic learning loss in the wake of the pandemic.”
