A county judge has granted a temporary restraining order blocking a massive Republican-backed overhaul of Ohio’s K-12 education system.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A county judge put a massive Republican-backed overhaul of Ohio’s K-12 education system on hold after issuing a temporary restraining order Thursday, blocking its implementation. The order comes just days after seven Ohio State Board of Education membersagainst the state of Ohio and Republican Gov. Mike DeWine.
Supporters, including DeWine, have praised it for bringing order to what they see as a disorganized system that hasn’t properly addressed education struggles in Ohio. But it’s also received significant backlash from teachers’ groups who say the shift brings less order and more partisanship to education in the state. ___
