Regional Partnerships Highlighted in Legislative Update

Rep. Andrea White recently shared legislative updates including House Bill 312 – Amended into Senate Bill 208 – Expanding Regional Education Partnerships to help Ohioans Achieve Post-High School Credentials.

The update shares that "after a year of going through the legislative process, S.B. 208 includes provisions of H.B. 312 that expand successful Regional Education Partnerships throughout the State of Ohio.

These Partnerships bring together educators, employers, nonprofits, and other community stakeholders to boost student outcomes from birth through career entry. Learning from and building on previous successes, including Montgomery County’s Learn to Earn Dayton, these Partnerships are driving measurable success across 20 Ohio counties – improving early learning access, career exploration, and workforce readiness through innovative local initiatives."

“Continuing to expand and sustain Regional Education Partnerships throughout Ohio is a key strategy that works – and one we can use to continue to increase our citizens’ post-high school credential and degree attainment to 65% and beyond,” said White. “We are excited to be taking this pivotal next step and helping to secure the educational and economic success for our students, our communities and Ohio’s future.”
