- Some big news from the Ohio Senate yesterday as the Education Committee made a number of changes to the K-12 Education MBR bill and then passed it out of committee to the Senate floor. Here are three takes on all the changes. The Cleveland Plain Dealer focuses on changes to Common Core in Ohio. The Columbus Dispatch focuses on teacher evaluation changes rolled into the MBR…and Common Core. Gongwer Ohio focuses on Fordham’s take on the situation, with a lengthy quote from Chad, giving him the last word on the matter for now.
