PUBLIC SCHOOLS:
THE HEART OF OHIO'S FUTURE
Last fall the Ohio Fair Schools Campaign and ProgressOhio.org launched the "We Support Public Education" billboard contest. Students, parents, educators, administrators and community members submitted billboard slogans and designs that celebrate the good things happening in our public schools, schools that strive every day to educate all of our children.
We have the 3 finalists and now it's your turn to vote. Which one should we put on a billboard?
Click here to see the finalist's designs and to vote for the design that you think would make the best billboard.
We will use the winning design in our billboard campaign to promote the positive aspects of Ohio's public education system. After you vote, please consider making a donation to help raise the funds to place more billboards across Ohio.

We are a coalition of community organizations, non-profits, faith networks, local congregations, parent organizations, and concerned citizens, from rural, urban and suburban areas. We work towards a real solution to the school funding crisis.
If you are part of a local parent group, levy committee, or other community group we want to hear from you. We can arrange for free speakers, provide educational materials, and help you stay in touch with people all over Ohio to work for a new school funding system.
Congratulations to the following students who were chosen for the top awards in the 2007 School Funding Essay Contest.
