Superintendents from nearly 40 school districts, including Ada Schools, have formed a network to advocate for positive changes in public education. The group is called Northwest/West Central Ohio Public School Advocacy Network.
The network grew from concerns over a loss of local control in public education. It hopes to inform communities about challenges and opportunities public schools face so community members might exercise a more informed influence over state and local decisions involving children's education.
