Governor DeWine Statement on Bishop Sycamore

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)?Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement regarding recent allegations against Bishop Sycamore school:

?Like many Ohioans, I am concerned by the recent reports and questions raised about Bishop Sycamore. While this weekend?s football game brought concerns about the health and safety of players, it also raised red flags about the school?s operations. Schools like Bishop Sycamore have an obligation under Ohio law to meet certain minimum standards. Whether Bishop Sycamore meets these standards is not clear. I have asked the Ohio Department of Education to conduct an investigation into Bishop Sycamore to ensure compliance with Ohio law and to ensure the school is providing the educational opportunities Ohio students deserve.?
