Why We Care
Good education policies—with proper implementation—set the foundation for educational excellence. We produce and disseminate high quality analysis and commentary related to K–12 Ohio education policy in order to frame issues, help inform the state’s education-reform agenda, and ensure Ohio is on the right track.

Fordham Ohio is a long-time supporter of high-quality school options; a consistent advocate for an improved school funding formula; and a leading voice for high-quality learning standards, rigorous state assessments, and smart accountability systems and metrics.
