Ohio voucher program faces constitutional questions in court
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled in 1997 that public school funding methods were unconstitutional, sparking ongoing debate over vouchers. Proponents like Senator Sandra OBrien push for SB 11 offering $5500 to $7500 per student while critics warn of unequal standards and accountability with private schools. A Franklin County case seeks to bar voucher spending, while educators urge state benchmarks and guidelines to ensure fairness and prevent funding disputes.
