YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — State Representative Lauren McNally has introduced legislation to end the requirements needed by the Youngstown School District to complete an Academic Improvement Plan — or face another state takeover.
McNally said since the implementation of what’s known as HB 70, Youngtown students have scored lower in almost every category.
“If it truly was to improve academics in Youngstown, we have the proof that it failed. And when your experiment fails, you’re supposed to clean up the mess, release your lab rats and go home,” McNally said.
