with all OAFCS members. The issue of expanding educational vouchers in Ohio has potentially direct impact on FCS programs as public school districts lose millions of dollars to vouchers. The legislature has until April 1 to fix the damage done by their last
minute amendments to the 2010-2021 Biennial Budget bill. What is happening this week given the corona virus is extremely difficult to decipher. Legislative sessions are scheduled Wednesday and Thursday but I cannot find information re the agendas. Action is
indeed urgent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
