Voters Decide Key Education Issues on Election Day

In the lead-up to Election Day, education issues are at the forefront in several states, with voters in Illinois facing a referendum on insurance coverage for IVF, while Chicago's school board races are heavily influenced by over $7 million in campaign funding amidst allegations of misleading messaging. In Ohio, local school levies are on the ballot, seeking funds for various improvements and current expenses. Nationwide, states like Kentucky and Colorado are voting on school choice initiatives, which could significantly impact funding and access to education. The importance of local public schools is emphasized in North Carolina, where a majority of residents support increased investment in public education over private school vouchers. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania's 138th District, incumbent Ann Flood faces off against newcomer Jared Bitting, bringing personal tragedy into their campaigns to highlight their motivations for public service.
