Governor to Host Education Reform
Forums Across Ohio

Columbus, Ohio – Ohio Governor Ted Strickland today announced that he will host 12 forums across the state this summer focusing on reforming education in Ohio.

“There is nothing more important to Ohio's economic future than making sure that we have a world-class system of education,” Strickland said. "These forums are the beginning of a conversation with the people of Ohio about how best to reform education in our great state."

The “Governor’s Conversation on Education” forums will focus on the six principles for education reform as outlined in the Governor’s State of the State address as well as specific policy ideas for fostering a system of education in Ohio that is innovative, personalized and linked to economic prosperity. A second round of education forums will be held later in the fall of 2008 and will focus on how to properly finance a truly reformed system of education. The governor plans to introduce his education reform proposal in 2009.

“Ohio’s education system has many strengths, but despite our progress we haven’t kept pace with the rest of the world,” Strickland said. “It will take collaboration among business leaders, parents, students, teachers and school administrators to develop a plan that makes Ohio a leader in innovation and gives our students the preparation and skills they need to be successful in a global environment.”

Strickland also launched a Web site, http://www.ConversationOnEducation.Org, which provides the public and forum participants with details about the regional forums and will include ways to submit feedback during and after the forums.

The dates, times and locations for the “Governor’s Conversation on Education” regional forums are listed below. Each forum will be available through a live Webcast at http://www.ConversationOnEducation.Org.

Most regional forums will also air live on the local PBS station. Stations without a live broadcast will tape and air their local forums following the event. Feeds of the forums will be provided to media outlets by Ohio Government Television.

Educators, business leaders, parents and students, among others, will make up the live audiences. In addition, each school district in the region will be encouraged to organize at least one “watch party” for the broadcast or Webcast and conduct a facilitated group discussion following the forum.

At each meeting, Strickland will discuss his six principles for education reform and specific ideas while facilitating an interactive conversation with audience members and Webcast and television viewers.

Let’s send Bill O’Neill to Congress!

Event Details: Join fellow Ohioans hungry for change for a neighbor-to-neighbor canvass this Sunday from 1-4 pm or 4-7 pm. We will be reaching out to sporadic Dem voters, independents, and disaffected Republicans to help elect Democrats up and down the ticket. Help us reach out to this crucial constituency in the final 70 days of the campaign. There are only 40 days left til early voting starts, and ALL POLLS show the race in Ohio is a dead heat. We need you! If you are unable to walk, help us hit the phones. We can't afford to leave any door unknocked or let any voter linger with the misconceptions created by the poisonous GOP smear campaign. Please contact our field director, Jose Casey if you would like to request your specific neighborhood: jcasey@ohioforchange.com or by phone: (614)886-6518.

Event Details:

Even if you can't attend the convention in Colorado, we can promise you a special evening in Worthington when Sen. Obama makes his acceptance speech. WADC has rented the Griswold Ball Room and will have a large screen projecting the convention.

 In addition, we have invited local candidates who will speak (briefly!), and provide literature and campaign materials, as well as volunteer sign-ups in the foyer. Issues campaigns will also have materials, and UAPA will be selling buttons and their great "Another Ohio Citizen for Obama" yard signs. We have invited 16 other clubs and 15 candidates -- all are welcome!

 

Historic Note: WADC held a similar event at the same location in 2004, when Democrats gathered to meet Eric Fingerhut and watch the convention. About 250 people came that evening, and we hope you will help make this an even greater success!
