Ohio lawmakers weigh county school funding reforms
Senator Charles A. Mosher said a legislative study committee will likely wait until after the January session to review school finances. The panel was formed to examine equalizing county funds, as some districts with large industrial plants have higher incomes than poorer rural districts. The November constitutional change allows a 150 million dollar bond issue for public buildings including distressed schools, and Governor Lausche supports broader distribution of school funds within counties to share revenue from large utility plants.
