35+ Years Advocating for Ohio's children
Our history is rooted in advocacy.
Coalition of Rural and Appalachian Schools (CORAS) played a major role in Ohio’s struggle for equitable and quality education by initiating the DeRolph v. State of Ohio lawsuit. While we still strive for “Equal Educational Opportunities for All Children in Ohio”, we wish to honor those who came before us and the progress they made for our students and schools.
