Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jim Tressel are reminding [ [link removed] ] the public about state funding and support avaible to help enhance safety on school grounds and in houses of worship. 

"We've made it a priority in this administration to offer a broad range of public safety support to our local communities, and these programs are a perfect example of this commitment," said Governor DeWine. "Our schools and churches can never be too safe, and I encourage leaders to take advantage of these grant programs and the other free services that the state provides."

"From our college campuses to our elementary schools and religious institutions, it's important that we always strive to create a safe environment," said Lt. Governor Tressel. "Our schools and churches all have different safety needs, and these programs are tailored to offer individualized support."

Brennaman, the longtime Cincinnati Reds radio broadcaster, will be honored with a statue dedication at Great American Ballpark Saturday before the Reds game versus the New York Mets.

"It was Marty’s voice that graphically described for us some of the greatest moments in Reds history, and it was Marty’s voice that, for five decades, kept me company many a night as I have traveled Ohio," said Governor DeWine. "I am pleased to honor him and his outstanding career with this proclamation and to say 'and this one belongs to...Marty!’"

Governor DeWine and Ohio Department of Health Director Vanderhoff announced [ [link removed] ] the details of a new children's eyesight program, OhioSEE.

In 2024, Governor DeWine formed [ [link removed] ] the Children's Vision Strike Force to find a solution to the gap in Ohio students' vision care. The group found that only about one-fourth (26%) of Ohio students who need additional vision care beyond basic school screenings actually receive it. The recommendations from the group are now being implemented through OhioSEE.

“Children must be able to see clearly in order to read, which is absolutely essential to a child's learning process,” said Governor DeWine. “But, unfortunately, we know that children who need vision care often do not receive it. That's why it's imperative we help children and families get the critical vision services they desperately need.”
