Columbus, OH – Greg R. Lawson, a research fellow at The Buckeye Institute, commented on the introduction of Ohio Senate Bill 368 by State Senator Sandra O’Brien (R-Rome).

“Putting students first has never been more important given the significant learning loss Ohio’s students have experienced due to pandemic-related school closures. With students’ future success, and the state’s long-term economic prosperity, at stake, Ohio policymakers must move forward by ensuring our children have access to flexible education options that best meet their personal needs.

“Senate Bill 368 represents exactly the type of innovative reform parents need in order to put students first and offer them a better chance to succeed. The Buckeye Institute and our coalition partners in the school choice movement have worked tirelessly to ensure that all students in Ohio have access to the tools they need to excel educationally and in life, and we could not be happier that this bill implements our longstanding policy recommendation.”
