Fair School Funding -- Fair Funding v Vouchers

(This webinar was recorded on February 12, 2025.  Presented by LWVO.)
 
Most of Ohio's students go to public schools, but last year Ohio spent $1 billion on school vouchers for private schools.
That doesn't add up.   Learn about how we got here and what we need to do now to protect our public schools.

  • John Patterson, former member of the Ohio House and co-author of the school funding plan will explain the plan, its roots, recent success, and the importance of the final step: full funding.
  • Dennis Willard, communications director for the Vouchers Hurt Ohio lawsuit will explain vouchers, the threat, and why more than 200 school districts chose litigation to challenge this expensive drain on state resources.
  • Nneka Slade Jackson, president of the Richmond Heights Board of Education, will offer a call to action.
  • Moderator:  Susan Kaeser, LWVO Issue Specialist and longtime Advocate for Quality Public Education.
