All children, regardless of ZIP code, race or family income deserve to be educated in fully and fairly funded schools. In fact, the framers of Ohio’s constitution required the state to provide a “thorough and efficient system of common schools” for all students.1 Yet for many years Ohio lawmakers have provided neither sufficient nor fair distribution of state support. Even as policymakers have expected public schools todo more, they have cut state aid to public schools over time, by allowing it to be eroded by inflation and diversion of funds to charter schools (called “community schools” in Ohio law) and vouchers (scholarships to private schools) . As a result, public schools have increasingly relied on local resources, which causes unequal funding and quality across districts. This is because our state’s school-funding system relies heavily on property taxes, which advantages wealthier districts. Communities with high property values can collect large sums for their public schools. Those with low property values can’t leverage as much in property taxes.  \nThe dependence on local resources affects communities in different ways. As corporations eliminated jobs with living wages in Ohio, racial discrimination in employment and government-sanctioned segregation forced Black, Indigenous and other people of color into neighborhoods of concentrated poverty, which hinders learning.2 Schools in these communities need additional resources, but the declining local tax base cannot generate what’s needed. Many rural and small-town districts have faced economic challenges that make it hard for them to provide local funding. Suburban areas experiencing explosive growth struggle in a different way. Ohio kids are poorly served because state lawmakers fail, year after year, to fix a broken system for funding public schools, although funding has increased for vouchers and charters — which often have private managers who may draw a profit from the charter schools they run and too often have poor performance.3  \nThe good news is that the new American Rescue Plan will provide $4.47 billion in federal pandemic aid to Ohio’s schools, to meet the challenges resulting from COVID-19 and to rebuild for the future. Moreover, state lawmakers are working to replace the broken state school financing system. The Fair School Funding Plan, moving forward in the Ohio General Assembly as House Bill 1 and included in the Substitute House budget bill for 2022-23, would provide fair state aid, a measure of equity, and predictability across the hundreds of public school districts in the state.  \n1 “The General Assembly shall make such provisions, by taxation, or otherwise, as, with the income arising from the school trust fund, will secure a thorough and efficient system of common schools throughout the state; but no religious or other sect, or sects, shall ever have any exclusive right to, or control of, any part of the school funds of this state.” Oh.
