We invite you to join us as we inaugurate our monthly Education Speakers Series in Columbus. For our first event, the Fordham Institute joins with School Choice Ohio to welcome Dr. Matthew Ladner of the Foundation for Excellence in Education to the Athletic Club of Columbus to discuss the topic of Education Savings Accounts (ESAs).
ESAs are being called "the next generation" in school choice—taking up to 90 percent of the funds that a state would have spent on a child's education and giving that money to his or her parents in the form of a debit card to spend on their child as they see fit.
Could Ohio see ESAs soon? Join us at this breakfast event on January 28 to find out and to add your voice to the conversation.
DATE: Wednesday, January 28, 2015
TIME: Doors open at 8:00 a.m.; program starts promptly at 8:30 a.m., program concludes at 9:30 a.m.
LOCATION: Athletic Club of Columbus, 136 E Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215
