Proposed Federal funding cuts threaten $219 million in funding for Ohio students and the special education, tutoring, and career programs they rely on. Parents, educators, and community members are standing up.
our Schools Are Worth the Fight.
What’s At Stake?
The Trump administration has proposed cutting public education by $7.3 billion nationwide. Ohio's share: $219 million pulled out of our classrooms. These aren't abstract numbers — they're the special education teacher in your district, the tutor working with a struggling reader, the career training program preparing a high school senior for what's next.
Special Education Services — Federal dollars help districts meet their legal obligation to serve every student with a disability. Cuts mean larger caseloads, fewer specialists, and parents fighting alone for services their kids are entitled to.
Tutoring for Struggling Students — Title I and related funds pay for the extra help that pulls kids back on track. Cuts mean intervention programs disappear and achievement gaps widen.
Career & Technical Training — Federal investment in career pathways gives high schoolers real skills and industry credentials. Cuts shrink programs that lead directly to good jobs.
Resources for High-Poverty Schools — Title I funding helps districts serving low-income communities keep class sizes down, retain experienced teachers, and provide the wraparound services families count on.

On April 3rd, President Trump released his next budget, and Ohio's Congressional Delegation needs to hear from you.
Federal funding helps Ohio schools provide services that many districts simply could not afford on their own. These funds support special education services, tutoring for struggling students, career training programs, and resources for schools serving high-poverty communities. Trump's budget proposal calls for cutting public schools by $7.3 billion, including $219 million from Ohio.

If federal funding is reduced, schools may face difficult decisions. Such as cutting staff, reducing programs, or shifting costs onto local taxpayers.
By signing this petition, you are sending a clear message to Ohio’s congressional delegation: protect federal funding for public education and invest in the success of Ohio’s students.
