Mission: The mission of Ohio Excels is to provide an informed business perspective to help improve and transform Ohio’s education system so that it better prepares students to meet the demands of our evolving economy.
Project: Ohio Excels found out how parents’ opinions on reporting have changed over the last nine months, learned more about parents’ opinions on other MAA issues and the impact of COVID-19, and informed policymakers of parents’ views so they can craft policies that strengthen the MAA landscape and address parent needs.
Outcome: The project aided policymakers in understanding the views of parents, especially Black and Latinx parents, and is helping keep state assessments and strong reporting in place for the 2020-21 school year and beyond.
