Ohio to offer private school vouchers for fall 2006
Ohio pilots a new voucher program allowing students in three area public schools to transfer to private schools tuition free if their schools are in academic emergency for three consecutive years. The plan, part of a $51 billion budget signed by Gov. Taft, could affect up to 20,000 students statewide in 2006 07 with grants of 4250 to 5000 dollars. Leaders and opponents debate public school funding and accountability as the state outlines details for applications and student selection.

Dayton Daily News reviews state aid data and finds no evidence of lawmakers rewarding their districts with extra funding. About 30 percent of districts received no gain, including many home districts of legislators, while experts cite a complex formula that resists targeted benefits.

Slow progress on cutting fuel tank ignition risks since TWA 800
Safety officials say nine years after the TWA Flight 800 crash little has been done to reduce vapors in aircraft fuel tanks. The FAA has promoted fuel inerting and plans for regulation, but no rule has been proposed. Boeing and the FAA cite design progress, while the NTSB notes limited fleet retrofit action and costs estimated at 140 to 220 thousand dollars per plane for about 3,800 US aircraft.
