Last night's Board of Education vote to approve devastating cuts for next school year was a reflection of a simple reality: Our local, state, and federal elected leaders continue to prioritize billionaire campaign donors over students and our communities.
Happy May Day! Solidarity Photos are starting to come in and we are ready to rally at McCoy Park at 4:30 p.m.

“445 CCS educator and staff positions are being eliminated due to budget cuts while the billionaire Haslams demand $25m more of city taxpayers’ money. Council should not be starving our kids of public resources to pad billionaires’ bank accounts.” https://t.co/SBwnZ2mL1m

Merry Crewsmas! Before we cheer on our @ColumbusCrew, we’ll hand out 15,000 flyers reminding fans that the Haslams received $600,000,000 taxpayer dollars while schools experience layoffs and cuts. Our kids need it more than billionaires do! Add your voice: https://t.co/ysdYs17HZ0
Congratulations to Immediate Past CEA President Tracey D. Johnson on her final day as an educator at Berwick K-8! After 34 years of service to the students and families of CCS and the members of CEA, we wish her a fond farewell!
We’re teachers, of course we had to correct the headline.
When you use taxpayer money to fund billionaires’ stadiums while making massive cuts to schools, it’s our students who suffer most.
"Run out of money" is one way of saying it, "Ohio lawmakers decided to build a billionaire donor's stadium with your money instead of funding your child's schools" is another.
