A statement from Ohio Education Association President Patricia Frost-Brooks:
Deb Delisle served Ohio schools with integrity and energy, and she collaborated well with Ohio’s elected leaders, as well as with all the education stakeholders, including OEA. She will be missed. Clearly,her forced resignation is another step in the Kasich administration’s push for a pro-charter school, private school and voucher agenda at the expense of the 90% of students who attend our public schools.
