COLUMBUS, Ohio (Statehouse News Bureau) — Ohio lawmakers have been wrestling with how to make changes to the state’s Ed Choice private school voucher plan for more than a year. Too many schools and families have become eligible in recent years as the state has changed its school performance standards. The Senate’s President-elect is proposing a new plan to fix it.
“It’s relatively high-poverty schools and it’s not schools in the top 80% of the performance index,” Huffman says.
Families of four that make up to $65,000 total annually would be eligible if they live in a qualifying school district.
