Statement on Actions Regarding LifeWise Academy

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization that empowers voters through advocacy and education. Any action the Tuscarawas County chapter has taken regarding LifeWise Academy has been with the intention of educating the public about what the organization is and advocating for transparency at every juncture as area school districts navigate their own policies as well as state and federal requirements surrounding released time for religious instruction (RTRI).

While the League of Women Voters of Tuscarawas County does not have an official position of LifeWise Academy or its appropriateness for public schools, area families have asked us to step in and shed light on the process by which LifeWise might be implemented in their children’s schools and the impact the program might have. Any statements made by individual members of LWV of Tuscarawas County solely reflect the views of those individuals and should not be construed as an official League position.

Thank you!

While the election didn't go the way we wanted it to, we got a lot of Ohioans thinking about gerrymandering and how it impacts their lives. Thank you to everyone who signed the petition, talked to friends and family about Issue 1, and voted to end gerrymandering!
