November Shabbat with Casey Weinstein

Program: Join us for an insightful discussion on the state of public education in Ohio and the evolving dynamic between state policy and local school districts. State Senator Casey Weinstein will share his perspective on key legislative priorities, funding, and how state decisions directly shape our local schools, families, and communities. Discover what lies ahead for Ohio’s education system and gain a deeper understanding of how policy choices impact our neighborhood schools.
