COLUMBUS - State Rep. Sean Patrick Brennan (D-Parma) today announced that the state of Ohio is now accepting applications for the 2023 – 2024 Ohio Afterschool Child Enrichment (ACE) Educational Savings Account program. 

“As a father of two and a public educator for three decades, I know how important it is to keep our young people engaged and socializing outside of the school day.
