Bill would expand education vouchers to more Ohio students
Lawmakers seek broader EdChoice access by allowing students from 30 underperforming schools to apply for vouchers for three years. The bill, tied to the two year budget, would add about 8,000 available private school slots, expanding beyond the current academic emergency rule. Gov Taft supports the change, while education officials warn funding strains may follow as districts recruit private school placements.
