Good morning, Dev Test County. While most of us were still figuring out our March Madness brackets, Ohio quietly rolled out a trio of initiatives that'll touch everything from morning carpools to classroom assessments. The state's new driver's ed app promises to save parents from paperwork headaches, while educators are knee-deep in spring testing prep and data dashboards designed to measure community health.
Meanwhile, the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission is making moves that deserve more attention than they're getting—fresh housing data, transit celebrations, and grant opportunities with a March 31 deadline that's approaching faster than you think. Sometimes the most impactful changes happen when we're looking the other way.
