State Board of Education:

State Board of Education member, Christina Collins, has announced her resignation effective at the end of 2023.  Collins was one of the SBOE members who filed suit against the creation of the Department of Education and Workforce and the removal of many of the State Board’s power.  Yesterday, Collins was named the Executive Director of Honesty for Ohio Education – a nonpartisan nonprofit focused on “high-quality education grounded in truth, facts, and diverse perspectives, regardless of race, identity, background, or zip code.”
