Fixing Ohio’s School Funding Crisis

For more than 20 years now there has been near continuous political and legal posturing in Columbus to find an equitable solution to funding public schools in Ohio.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Somewhere in this marvelous country of ours this problem already has been solved. In fact, our solution likely would come from some combination of the best ideas from several states.

Find those states where this is no longer a problem. Find those states where adequate and affordable school funding is producing functional graduates.

Copy their models.

Fine-tune them.

Then, employ them.
