"Welcome to the Ohio Department of Education. Ohio students are doing better than ever in school. I am proud of the dedicated educators throughout the state who work hard to help every child succeed. These educators, along with parents and other stakeholders, are shaping the thinkers, the innovators and the leaders of the 21st century.

Schools are important to more than just those who have school-age children. Superior schools attract and keep jobs in our state, advance our standard of living and promote the overall well-being of our . communities. Advancing high achievement for all students will ensure that Ohio remains a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.

Public education is the foundation for the future of Ohio."

Susan Tave Zelman
Superintendent of Public Instruction
