Saturday volunteer opportunity
this message is from the Friends of Nordonia Group…
On Saturday, we will meet at Lee Eaton to hang door hangers on addresses of people who have requested absentee ballots from 10 am to 2 pm. You can also pick up packets at this event and distribute them on your own over the weekend. This will be the last weekend we will be able to reach out to this group. Their ballots will be sent out the following Wednesday. There is no contact required with voters on this one. Grab a friend, get some exercise and help with the passage of Issue 5—Better Schools for a Better Future. Please respond and let us know if you can make it.
We are supposed to have beautiful weather. I even heard donuts may be there.

Another School Privatization Gimmick in the State Budget: Tuition Tax Credit
Ohio was a leader in tax support for private schools prior to the advent of the voucher and charter school schemes. Now Ohio is among the top 10 states in the nation in support of vouchers, charters, and a variety of other privatization options. One option, the tuition tax credit scheme, had its humble debut in the state budget bill, HB110—only a tax credit of $750. It will be much more robust in the next state budget. The Buckeye Institute is pushing for a tax credit of $2500.
What is a tuition tax credit? A person or business is authorized by law to give “x” amount of money to an agency that subsidizes student tuition to a private school. That same amount of money then will be deducted from the donor’s income tax obligation.
A clever invention by privatization zealots.

54th Annual PDK Poll: Local Public School Ratings Rise Even As Teaching Profession Loses Ground
In spite of the escalated attacks on public schools by the education privatizers, Americans’ ratings of public schools reached a new high dating back 48 years. 54% of all adults, according to the poll gave an A or B grade to the public schools in their community, the highest since 1974. It appears that the privatizers’ attempt to erode public confidence in public education has not been effective.
However, only 37% of respondents in the poll would want a child of theirs to become a teacher. This compares with 46% in 2018 and a high of 75% in 1975. SAD that young folks are discouraged to enter the teaching profession.
just working to keep you all up to date…

some good news for public ed
check out another article from Stephen Dyer – about how Akron schools made up 70% of the covid loss in one year – looks like we know what we are doing after all. I know there have been many links to this author – but he is and has been writing about education in Ohio for a long time- take a read, it really is a short fast read

community spirit –
Dear Staff –
I know this might be a bit of an ask, and surely short notice, but our schools will be having an open house for the entire community this Saturday 9/10. I am sure all would appreciate it if we had a small presence in the buildings while this is happening. So, if you have a little planning to do or grading or even a little classroom maintenance, how about considering dropping in this Saturday from 9:00 am til 1:00 – drop in for any or all of the time if your schedule permits
Thanks for your consideration.
NHEA
