Ohio's state budget made access to EdChoice Expansion vouchers universal. State spending on private school tuition is expected to exceed $1 billion by next school year.  The state supports two kinds of education which are very different in who they serve, who benefits, transparency, accountability, the common good, and community impact.  Join us for an update on vouchers, a review of the schools that can receive them, issues to monitor, what could happen next, and the threat that privatization poses to democratic goals and public education itself. 

Special Guest:  Steve Dyer, Former State Legislator, School Funding Expert, Member of Steering Committee for Voucher Lawsuit
