Network for Public Education National Conference in Columbus in April

January 21, 2025

Good Tuesday morning,

Ohio is fast becoming the center of attention in the battle to save public schools, and this spring the Network for Public Education (NPE) is holding their annual 2025 National Conference in Columbus.

The two-day conference will take place on April 5 and 6 at the Hyatt Regency with a pre-conference on Friday, April 4 featuring a conversation between Diane Ravitch, NPE President, and Josh Cowen. Cowen is a professor at Michigan State University and the author of “The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers.”

Last year, NPE was in Washington, D.C., and the year prior, in Philadelphia.

NPE comes to the Heartland and you do not want to miss out.

Vouchers Hurt Ohio will hold two panel discussions regarding our lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the harmful private school voucher program known as EdChoice.

There will be public school experts and advocates from all across the country.

The keynote speakers include:

Diane Ravitch, NPE President

Kurt Russell, the 2022 National Teacher of the Year

Jess Piper, Rural Communities and Public School Advocate

Gina Hinojosa, Texas State Representative

John H. Jackson, President and CEO, Schott Foundation.
