A year after expansion, criticism, praise for Ohio's EdChoice vouchers
Critics say Ohio’s expanded school voucher program is draining funds from public schools, while proponents argue that parents should be able to decide who educates their children. Ohio’s EdChoice Scholarship program was enacted in 2005 to help students from low-income families and those in underperforming districts afford tuition at private schools. It was expanded in 2023, raising the income levels and dropping the requirement that a school district be underperforming. In a class-action lawsuit filed in January, 2022, a handful of public school students, 200-plus districts, and the Ohio Coalition for Equity & Adequacy of School Funding argued the EdChoice program violates the state constitution’s mandate for a single public system of education. The Vouchers Hurt Ohio lawsuit claims taxpayer-funded private school vouchers are draining hundreds of millions of dollars from Ohio’s constitutionally required public education system — though they started out as a way to help lower-income families escape failing schools.
