OPSAN Catching On

Statewide and local leadership teams for the Ohio Public School Advocacy Network were recently invited to participate in a first-ever on-line discussion.  Being our initial attempt to bring everyone together, we weren’t exactly sure what to expect.  On April 21, the response to our invitation was strong with 60 leadership team members taking part in a productive hour-long conversation.  In addition to indicating that this grassroots movement to help shape statewide education policy is catching on, the high level of meeting participation shows that we can continue to build momentum throughout the current period of social distancing.  With regard to next steps, one of our major priorities will be to continue to expand our local leadership teams to include broad cross-sections of our local communities.
