Contact your State Representative

Let them know your concerns through letters, e-mails, phone calls, and personal visits.  Provide them with written recommendations for reform amendments.  Target not only those representatives from your own district, but also those who sit on the education committees.

Collect petitions and signature of parents and other citizens in favor of reform and send these to your representatives.

Names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and committee assignments of all state representatives can be found at the State of Ohio legislative website.

You can send mass mailings by writing "Mailroom: Please distribute to all Senators (or House of Representatives)" on the outside of a large envelope containing enough materials for each representative.  99 for the House and 33 for the Senate.  Mass mailings or individual correspondence can be sent directly to "The Honorable name of representative" at the following addresses:

The Ohio Senate
Senate Building
South High Street
Columbus, Ohio 43215

Ohio House of Representatives
77 South High Street
Columbus, Ohio 433266-0603
