Educators belong on local school boards. Plus, OEA's Legislative Scorecard

<p><em>Local school boards play a critical role in setting the working and learning conditions in Ohio's classrooms every day. That's why it is critical to elect school board candidates who understand the real issues facing our schools and what our students need to learn grow and thrive. In this episode, we hear from two school board candidates running for seats in the Cincinnati area who are able to provide that important perspective as recently-retired teachers. We also hear from OEA's Manager of Government Relations about the upgrades in the works for OEA's Legislative Scorecard, which helps members keep track of how members of the General Assembly stand on education and labor related issues, so they can make informed decisions at the ballot box. </em></p><p> <br><strong>SUBSCRIBE | </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/education-matters/id1549004446?itsct=podcast_box&amp;itscg=30200">Click here</a> to subscribe to<em> Public Education Matters</em> on Apple Podcasts or <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2VkdWNhdGlvbi1tYXR0ZXJz">click here </a>to subscribe on Google podcasts so you don't miss a thing.
