You're not alone. Thousands of parents across Ohio are organizing to demand fully funded schools for every child.
You Belong Here
We are local, trusted leaders organizing in school districts across Ohio.
Some of us are navigating IEPs while schools cut special education staff. Some are fighting for reliable school buses while districts face transportation budget shortfalls. Some are trying to make sure our kids don't have to pay to play sports while athletic programs get slashed.
We Believe: Our public schools should work for all families, not just some. And we're building the power to make that real.
What We Can Do Together
A public school system where every child is seen, supported, and set up to succeed with the resources, staff, and opportunities they deserve. This is achievable. We're winning it.
How We're Making Change
Parents United for Public Schools builds collective parent power across Ohio to win fully and fairly funded schools. We organize parents and caregivers to:
Demand accountability from lawmakers who underfund our schools
Share our stories to shift the public narrative
Take action together from school board meetings to the Statehouse to Congress
We're fighting for an Ohio where every public school delivers a quality education that prepares every child for the future. No exceptions. No excuses.
βJust the act of using your voice is an incredibly empowering tool. I would encourage all parents to speak up. Your voice matters, and itβs the only way weβre going to make change.β
