Appeal on private school ruling eyed in Ohio
Darke County Prosecutor Lee E. Fry says he is studying the Ohio Supreme Court decision striking down state education standards as they apply to private schools and may seek review by the U.S. Supreme Court. Fry prosecuted Rev. Levi Whisner, founder of a church related Greenville school, whose followers were convicted of sending children to a noncompliant school. The court held that religious freedom outweighs state education standards. The state board of education will respond in September.
