Gutting Ohio state school board advances in statehouse

Season 2022 Episode 47 | 26m 46s

With time running out before the end of the current legislative term, lawmakers are scrambling to get bills passed.

Senate Bill 178 would rename the Ohio Department of Education to the Department of Education and Workforce and put it under authority of the governor.
