The Cost for Participating
Ohio Making Schools Work provides many services and resources with no or minimal cost. Schools are asked to commit the time and effort to bring about the necessary changes to be successful. This often involves changing the way schools “do business” rather than adding more work. As a support organization, Ohio Making Schools Work functions as a partner in advancing school success, not as an evaluator.
