A Columbus judge has punted the GOP effort to overhaul the K-12 public education system by taking the power away from the Ohio Dept. of Education and giving it to the governor's office.
On Tuesday, the Ohio Department of Education should cease to exist, according to new state law. What it is replaced with is the Department of Education and Workforce, which falls underneath the governor's oversight.
"There's a democratically-operated opportunity for the citizens to weigh in state school policy," Board member Teresa Fedor said."That goes into a black hole if we don’t get this injunction."Starting after the Nov. 2022 election, seven of the 11 elected seats are held by Democrats. The elected seats ensure that the total board can't pass all resolutions it wants, since it needs a 2/3 majority. Of the 19 total seats, eight were appointed by Gov. DeWine.
"The constitution outlines that we are the ones that control what duties and responsibilities you have," state Rep. Josh Williams said."You can't grab something from someone else when you have the right to it." "The legal question is: what's the line between the constitutional provisions that protect the independence of the state board of education and the legislature's discretion to structure some of the day-to-day responsibilities?" Entin said."Pause on the transfer of powers under the governor's bureaucracy and people can continue to rely on the elected school board members to be their voice," Fedor said.
"A literal reading of the court's order would mean that tomorrow morning, there would be no department in existence at all to exercise the normal and historic functions of the Department of Education, which oversees the school systems of the State of Ohio," DeWine said in the rather confusing press conference.
