Senator Brown talks education reform in Toledo
13 ABC – Senator Sherrod Brown was in Toledo today talking education reform. He's calling on fellow leaders in Washington to focus funding on struggling school districts.
Every year costs go up, leaving school districts battling budgets and turning to the voters for help. Toledo Public Schools are facing a $30 million deficit. Fewer dollars available means fewer resources.
"We've got to do better with providing kids with the opportunity to go to college," said Senator Brown. Brown talked with teachers from all across Ohio about ways to prepare students for college and close the learning gaps in urban and remote rural areas.
