Voting Underway In Cleveland Heights: What To Know

The polls are open and voting is underway across Ohio.

These levies are essential b/c the majority in OH legislature has failed—for decades—to enact fair, equitable & constitution school funding for Ohio's public school students. They've made things worse by draining hundreds of millions of $$ for private school voucher deductions.

Today, vote yes on school levies to #FundOurFuture.

Tomorrow, work together with us & other public education advocates to fight for a fair, equitable, and constitution school funding formula in Ohio. #AFTvotes

*constitutional. (Pardon the typos. It's been a long week and it's only Tuesday!)
