Political Action
Part of the mission of the Ohio Education Association is advocating for members and the learners they serve. A vital part of this advocacy is involvement in public policy decisions. OEA members, governance and staff work with elected officials to help improve the public education. This happens at all levels of government--federal, state and local. This section of the website is where you can learn about current issues affecting public education; the importance of becoming involved; and how to contact your elected representatives to make your voice heard.
