The new Ohio House of Representatives introduced several new bills to improve Ohio's Schools:
The Backpack Bill
House Bill 11, sponsored by Reps. Riordan McClain (R-Upper Sandusky) and Marilyn John (R-Shelby), would empower families to choose the educational option that best meets their child’s needs by tying state resources directly to the student so that Ohio funds students and teachers instead of buildings and bureaucrats.
The Save Women’s Sports Act
House Bill 6, sponsored by Rep. Jena Powell (R-Arcanum), would preserve the integrity of women’s sports by protecting female athletes from having to compete against biological males who have an unfair physical advantage over them.
The Parents’ Bill of Rights
House Bill 8, sponsored by Reps. D.J. Swearingen (R-Huron) and Sara Carruthers (R-Hamilton), would require public schools to defer to parents when it comes to teaching s*xual content to students, as well as protect students from being encouraged by school counselors to “socially transition” as the opposite s*x without their parents’ knowledge.
