In Ohio, public education matters. Our public schools serve 1.6 million students in safe, welcoming environments where every student - regardless of race, background, gender, ability, or family income-level - can learn, grow, and thrive. The nearly 120,000 members of the Ohio Education Association are public school educators who have dedicated their lives and careers to ensuring their students have the opportunities and supports they need to succeed. OEA's Public Education Matters podcast is your source for insightful conversations about the big issues shaping the education landscape for OEA members and their students. Enjoy!
