The Ohio Core
The Sound of Ideas: Monday, December 18, 2006
With just two weeks left in office, Governor Taft is trying to leave a legacy, and it would dramatically change the high school graduation requirements. On The Sound of Ideas, we'll find out the details on Taft's Ohio Core proposal, and we'll hear why some of the leaders of the state's largest school districts don't like it. Also, he's been Ohio's senator for 12 years. Mike DeWine joins us before he says goodbye to Washington. That's Monday morning at nine on 90.3.
Myers University at the Crossroads
The Sound of Ideas: Tuesday, December 12, 2006
Money's tight, and the leaders of Cleveland's oldest four-year college are facing a decision: close the doors or merge with another institution.

Tuesday morning on The Sound of Ideas, we'll talk about it with some local college presidents.

We'll explore what should - and shouldn't - go into a new master plan for Ohio schools, Friday morning on The Sound of Ideas.
