The Ohio Supreme Court ruled standards for church related schools unconstitutional only where they violated religious freedom. Public and private schools differ in funding and aims. The decision may lead to separate state standards for religious schools, with the burden of proof on preserving freedoms. Local educators expect existing standards to persist, and both sides see potential long term benefits to Ohio education.
