When we let vouchers drain our schools, it hurts us all.
February 18, 2025
Good Tuesday morning,
Yes, that’s right.
Tim Walz, the governor of Wisconsin, Vice-Presidential candidate in 2024 and rumored to be making a run for the U.S. Senate in 2026, will be the keynote speaker in Columbus at the Network for Public Education (NPE) National Conference in April.
First, it’s great that Ohio and Columbus will host the NPE conference this year.
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.
It is a two-day conference that will be held on April 5 and 6 at the Hyatt Regency.

And register here.
In addition to Gov. Walz, the 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.
There will be 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.”
We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Vouchers Hurt Ohio
