New Ohio Democratic Party Chair Faces Big Challenges
Once a key swing state, it’s been 30 years since Democrats controlled Ohio’s Statehouse and a decade since a Democrat was governor...The job of changing that has fallen to Liz Walters, a Summit County council member and the first woman elected to head the Ohio Democratic Party. She must work hard and fast, now that U.S. senator Rob Portman will step down in 2022.

Don't Judge STEM Success By Test Scores Alone, Educators Say
Gavin Parr spent his lunch period working on his car. But the eighth-grader wasn’t peering under a hood; he was leaning into a computer screen. Eventually, he’ll print his project out but it won’t be on paper. “I built my own 3D printer at home, so I plan to end up printing the whole model and putting it all together from like, a browser,” he said. Gavin goes to the Oakwood STEM Academy in Canton, a school within a school that emphasizes science, technology, engineering and math. Educators and business leaders say he’s the worker of the future: technically proficient, and creative when it comes to engineering and mechanics.

Meet The Competition
The neighborhoods of Northeast Ohio — and especially Cleveland — are a hub for ex-offenders...Most will wind up in poverty-stricken areas...And they'll return to a region where competition for work is ferocious even for those without criminal histories.
