Tell your Ohio Senator to Protect Public Education

Rally For Public Schools


Tell your Ohio Senator to Protect Public Education

Public schools are the heart of local communities and are open to all—serving 90% of Ohio’s students.

However, vital funding is diverted away from public school students to provide EdChoice vouchers—paying private school tuition of some students. This reduced funding has real implications such as larger class sizes, reduced educational opportunities and increased pressure on local taxpayers.

We need the Senate to take action and pass the House version of Senate Bill 89. This legislation has the support of the public education community and would move away from basing voucher eligibility on flawed report cards and toward funding vouchers directly by the state rather than by deducting funding from public schools.
