Judge rules Ohio vouchers unconstitutional
Franklin County Judge Jaia Page ruled Ohio EdChoice vouchers unconstitutional though the state will appeal. The decision sides with a 2022 coalition of about 300 public schools arguing the program diverts funds from public schools and creates a system of uncommon private schools. Local districts Lorain and Oberlin joined the lawsuit effort as supporters of the challenge.

Ohio budget bill passes as tax reform drives funding shifts
The Ohio General Assembly approves a two year budget totaling 60 billion with a plan to flatten the income tax to 2.75 percent for all over 26 thousand, a move seen as benefiting higher earners and costing more than 1 billion in the biennium. The bill also trims H2Ohio funding, scales back infant mortality earmarks, overhauls K 12 funding, expands private school vouchers, and funds the Browns stadium project via a grant tied to unclaimed funds managed by the Department of Commerce.
