Monday, November 14, 6am; to Tuesday, November 15, 3pm, Ohio Department of Education, 25 S. Front St.

The Ohio State Board of Education’s Executive Committee has scheduled another meeting on the morning of November 14 to discuss, amend, and possibly vote to send to the larger committee for a vote the resolution supporting discrimination against transgender and gender-diverse kids. The vote might happen during the meeting on November 15. Details will follow as we get updated.

We will be out on the sidewalk again with sidewalk chalk, protest signs, and streaming the meetings; just to let the Committee Members know that we’re still here, and we’re going to keep being here. There will also be sitting in the meeting room and the overflow room. We can go in and out of the building if we need to stay warm; make sure to bring ID to enter the building.

There is no public testimony again during these meetings, but e-mail addresses and petitions can be found in the Honesty for Ohio Education posts that will be shared here.

I know it’s going to be early and also the middle of November; I’ll bring coffee and doughnuts as well as snacks and water. If it’s too cold, or bad weather, we’ll be inside in the meeting room or the overflow room.

The larger State Board of Education’s meeting will start around 12noon to 12:30pm on Monday, so we can go inside or go home then. If it’s set up in the morning meeting to be voted on, it’s supposed to be voted on in the meeting on November 15, starting at 8am. When they post the agenda, we’ll update with the approximate voting time on Tuesday.
