Ohio Board of Education

The board's president and another member resigned last month over a vote to take back an anti-racism resolution passed after the George Floyd demonstrations in 2020.

The two members would have to be confirmed by the Senate to replace two appointees who turned in letters of resignation to Gov. Mike DeWine today.

The State Board of Education voted a few weeks ago to rescind an anti-racism resolution approved in the wake of the killing of George Floyd last summer.

Updated: 4:40 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021 The Ohio Senate is expected to vote Friday to remove Laura Kohler and Eric Poklar from the Ohio Board of Education. Earlier this month, Kohler, who serves as president of the board, and Poklar both voted against repealing an anti-racism resolution the board had previously passed after George Floyd was killed by a Minnesota Police officer in 2020.
