The Dock
Persona Non Grata
The Ohio House has voted 88-7 to eliminate the EdChoice scholarship, the popular publicly-funded voucher that provided students who resided in “failing” school districts the covering of $4,600 their elementary tuition or $6,000 their high school.
If the bill becomes law, not only is the program dead but also the dramatic expansion of the voucher system awarded on the basis of school performance that was set to roughly triple the number of eligible students. The EdChoice program is expected to be supplanted by a new voucher program, the Buckeye Opportunity Scholarship, that would fully fund vouchers to attend private schools of students whose family incomes are at 250% the federal poverty level.
