The discussion is scheduled to concentrate on education during the COVID-19 pandemic, school choice and DeVos' proposal called Education Freedom Scholarships.

DeVos has said she is against a part-time school reopening plan during the pandemic and that schools must be "fully operational."

School choice programs allow parents to choose a school for their child that best meets the child’s individual needs.

The roundtable is scheduled for 10:45 a.m. at Tree of Life Ministries on Arlington Centre Boulevard.

Also scheduled to be there is Ohio State Senator Matt Huffman as well as students, parents and educators.
