Welcome back to our first edition of 2024. Sorry you didn’t have anything better to do on January 2 than this.
It’s the start of another year, and that means it’s time for us at the Ohio Gadfly to predict what awaits in the next twelve months. In light of last year’s historic budget bill, there’s plenty on the agenda.
With the past year now in the books, it’s time to look back. During 2023, we at Fordham wrote extensively about the biggest and most important policy issues of the past year, most of which were debated as part of the state budget process.
Fordham’s published work is guided by a number of longstanding precepts, including detailed policy analysis, speaking out on behalf of families and students, filling research gaps, challenging misconceptions, and highlighting education issues being discussed by state leaders.
At end of every year, we are reminded of how important you—regular readers of our analyses, commentary, reviews, and research—are to us. We appreciate that you find value in the work we do, and we are interested in understanding which topics draw your attention the most.
This is our last edition of 2023. Thanks for reading and subscribing. We’ll be back on Friday, January 5, 2024. Happy New Year!
Last edition of 2023. Thanks for reading and subscribing, despite your better judgment. Back on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
