A $26 billion federal spending bill could mean 5,000 education jobs would be saved or created in Ohio, according to government figures.
The U.S. Senate approved legislation Thursday that provides $10 billion for education and $16 billion to increase the federal contribution for Medicaid, providing a cushion for state governments. The House is expected to take up the measure in a special session next week.
“Yesterday was a hallelujah day,” said Patricia Frost-Brooks, president of the Ohio Education Association. “I was holding my breath.”
