The Ohio Senate recently released its state budget proposal. In the proposal, the Ohio Senate effectively ends Step Up to Quality, Ohio’s 5-star Quality Rating and Improvement System. Additionally, the Senate imposes debilitating restrictions on federal emergency dollars designated to Ohio to strengthen the early learning system and the early education workforce.
The Senate’s proposal is a devastating blow to Ohio’s child care system and the classroom teachers who are the unsung heroes of our fragile system.
We are calling on Ohioans to speak out against the Senate’s proposal to eliminate Step Up to Quality and restrict federal child care spending. Will you join us?
