The Ohio House Republicans have announced their version of the state budget, dramatically slashing school funding after months of uncertainty.

After facing questions about school funding for months, House Speaker Matt Huffman (R-Lima) and Finance Chair Brian Stewart (R-Ashville) decided not to fully fund public schools in their proposed amendment to the H.B. 96 budget.

To be fully funded based on statistics from the Fair School Funding Plan from 2021, schools would need $666 million. The proposed budget only gives them about $226 million.

Yeah, no. Write your rep to let them know this is unacceptable. Ohio's and especially Cuyahoga's taxes are too high to not fully fund the education of our children.

Is this why the state of Ohio was pushing for higher realestate taxes so that cities and towns would take on more financial responsibility for their school systems?

Good grief.. can’t say i’m not surprised the most religiously ruled state is neutering public education. I wish those who call themselves “good valued christians” actually valued the education of their children, and accepted challenges to their beliefs in-depth education brings. Rather than hiding away in ignorance and dismissing any science as heresy.
