Ohio schools

Mayor Justin Bibb says officials are working as "quickly" as possible to end the seven-year-old decree signed after a federal investigation found a pattern of excessive force by officers; Ohio's schools are struggling to fill teaching positions as more people are quitting the profession due to high college costs and being targeted by extremist politicians ... and more stories.

The Community in Schools program could be extended to more schools with these new dollars.

The Ohio School Boards Association says the bill could mean lots of work for overburdened teachers.

Nurses at the state's K-12 schools say they are short-staffed and overwhelmed with contact tracing.

The group claiming to be against "critical race theory" wasn't the only one to show up.

And sometimes school board members are being threatened over what people think they are teaching.
