1. How would you implement your top priority?

Answer from Tyrone K. Yates:

I would support rather than fight the Ohio Supreme Court directions on new ways to fund support for public education. DeRolph I and DeRolph II are touchstones for the leadership work facing the new General Assembly. I will not shy away from persuading Ohio and district residents that we can do more than rank 40th -- the bottom ten among the states in public education support. Is it any wonder Ohio schools often fail to educate our children?

Answer from Sandra Faith Hall:

I have already begun. Since December I have been out in each of the communities that I am asking to allow me to represent them. I have been listening, looking, asking questions, attending community council meetings, acquainting myself with the residents, making myself accessible and available. I have tirelessly been preparing myself to represent the needs of HD33.
