A Celebration of Public Education with OEA Members
OEA extends its heartfelt thanks to the thousands of educators and their family members who joined us for the first-ever Public Education Matters Day celebrations on September 30, 2023. The OEA members who took part in the events at the Toledo Zoo, Columbus Zoo, Cleveland Zoo, and Newport Aquarium, as well as the dozens of volunteers representing OEA Districts across the state, made these gatherings a huge success! You can learn more about the celebrations and see what Ohio lawmakers did to recognize the importance of the day here.
