Ohio GOP threatens to cut school funding, calling spending 'unsustainable'
Meanwhile, Ohio gave one billion dollars in 2024 for private school vouchers, mostly unaccredited church schools with very little oversight or curriculum mandates and oversight #Ohio #EdChoice #education
@paul@oldfriends.live2/ Follow up ~ After backlash, Ohio GOP split over cutting public school funding
Following WCPO's deep dive (Post 1 in this thread) into an effort by Republican leadership in Ohio to cut public school spending, which resulted in the lawmakers facing backlash, half a dozen GOP legislators personally reached out to WCPO, vowing to protect K-12 education.
Those six, and at least 15 others WCPO have spoken to in recent weeks, say that one of their main priorities is supporting public schools.
This comes as Gov. Mike DeWine would not commit to supporting the current bipartisan funding formula, telling me that "difficult choices" will need to be made. #Ohio #USPol #Education #EdChoice #GOP
It's worthy to note, Ohio GOP gave over US One Billion Ohio tax dollars to private schools, mostly religious church based, grants in 2024, for k-12 education alone.
@paul I've learned that "difficult choices" mean rich people taking money away from those who can afford it least.
