DeWine's State of the State: Boosting Reading, Child Safety
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine emphasized the importance of education and safety in his 2026 State of the State address, focusing on improving reading skills for young children and enhancing child safety measures. The state now mandates the Science of Reading approach in classrooms, resulting in an 8.3% increase in kindergarten readiness scores. To maintain progress, regional teams of experts will be launched to train schools and evaluate the reading program. DeWine also advocated for bans on AI-created child pornography, tech firm accountability, and built-in parental controls on phones to ensure child safety.
