Superintendent Glasner Testifies in Favor of Fair School Funding Plan
Superintendent Dr. David Glasner presented testimony in Columbus today before the Senate Primary & Secondary Education Committee calling on legislators to keep the Fair School Funding Plan in House Bill 110, the state budget bill.
The Fair School Funding Plan represents the first time in nearly three decades that the Ohio Legislature has considered passing an equitable or adequate school funding system. This is a historic moment, but we must act quickly to turn this plan into a reality. It is essential for you to contact Senate leadership NOW and emphasize the need that the Fair School Funding Plan must be used as the foundation for school-funding discussions as the budget bill is developed.

Keep the Learning Going - All Year Long!
The school year is drawing to a close, but our mission to provide the best educational experience and opportunities for Shaker students doesn’t take a summer vacation. Thanks to your support this past year, we were able to keep our students active and engaged with new technology, athletics, and extra-curricular programs during remote and hybrid learning.
Now we’re looking to the future. The Shaker Schools Foundation needs your help to continue to provide equitable access to resources for academics, arts, athletics, STEM and social-emotional programs for all Shaker students across the district.
Your gift to the Mission in Motion annual appeal will help us keep the learning going all summer long and into the next school year. Thank you for your continued generosity!
