MISSION
The Ohio Alliance for Black School Educators (OABSE) aspires to move from thinking about the greatest problems affecting education for all children to understanding and solving them. Tomorrow’s challenges demand innovative and unconventional approaches that cross or dissolve the boundaries to achieve equity for disadvantaged students of African descent.
The collaborative work and supportive efforts of OABSE members give our students a transformative experience within the schools they attend by assisting them in the development of college and career-ready skills, as well as a sense of social responsibility and a commitment to serving others.
We invite you to join OABSE in the fight for equity and equality in education for our children. Become a member and play an active role in the work of OABSE and your local Affiliate.
