Education Policy

In spring of 2015, the Central Ohio region sponsored two surveys, conducted by APRI, to generate data pertaining to K-12 school-business partnerships:

  • All 67 Superintendents in Central Ohio were invited to participate in the survey – 24 responded
  • The business survey was distributed to all private businesses in the advanced manufacturing, Information Technologies, logistics, and health care industries throughout Central Ohio.
  • The survey yielded over 300 business responses. Throughout these replies, several themes emerged indicating critical differences in partnership perceptions and implementations.
  • The two sectors identify similar tools to enhance partnerships.
