Dispatch also ran this one (hard to find on their site) from same origin:<br>

<a href="http://www.ohio.com/news/local/ohio-s-state-school-board-shifts-emphasis-from-traditional-public-schools-to-parent-driven-choice-1.445521">http://www.ohio.com/news/local/ohio-s-state-school-board-shifts-emphasis-from-traditional-public-schools-to-parent-driven-choice-1.445521</a><br>

<br>

It as much admits that swamping board with appointees was effort to avoid dealing responsibly with DeRolph!<br>

It really made me sick to read how so many of these appointees have agendas other than promotion of PUBLIC education.<br>

<br>

Looks like might need an initiative to restore board to ELECTED only.<br>
