Every day OEA works to improve public education for our students and our members. Our strength lies in collective action. With over 122,000 members, we can affect policy to improve public education for students and the educators who serve them. Letters, emails, petitions, and phone calls from you often make the crucial difference.
Current Actions
Oppose SB 295 and Protect Our Public Schools
URGENT: SB 295 represents an overreach that threatens public education and educators’ rights. This bill expands criteria for labeling schools as underperforming, forcing districts to take drastic actions such as closing schools, transferring control to private operators, or replacing staff—while overriding collective bargaining law and local collective bargaining agreements.
Repeal GPO/WEP
Repeal Unfair Social Security Penalties. Pass the Social Security Fairness Act to fully repeal GPO/WEP.
Bad for students. Bad for higher education. Bad for Ohio.
URGENT: We are asking our members and allies to fight back once again and encourage the House of Representatives to reject SB 83, the Higher Education “Destruction” Act.
