Welcome to the Ohio BAEO website!
The Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO) is one of the nation’s leading nonprofit, nonpartisan organizations promoting parental choice as a means to empower families to be more actively involved in their children’s education. BAEO supports quality schools both public and private.

It is our hope that you will see great value in what BAEO has to offer parents as we endeavor to inform, educate and motivate parents to become warriors on behalf of their children.

This statistically representative survey of 1,200 likely Ohio voters illustrates public opinion on a wide range of K-12 education issues. The underlying theme of the Friedman Foundation’s Survey in the State series is to measure voter attitudes toward public institutions and policies, innovative ideas, and the state’s K-12 education system.
