US EditionOhio Plans Swift Appeal as Court Declares Private School Voucher System Unconstitutional
- On Tuesday, a judge from Franklin County declared Ohio's EdChoice school voucher program unconstitutional, issuing a 47-page decision granting summary judgment on three of the claims.
- The ruling came after a 2022 lawsuit filed by a coalition of more than 100 school districts and parents, who claimed that EdChoice established separate school systems and violated the Ohio Constitution.
- The judge determined that the program lacks sufficient state oversight to prevent discrimination, has decreased funding for public schools, and breaches the constitutional mandate that public education be maintained as one unified system.
- Attorney Keith Neely stated they plan to appeal the ruling before a panel of three judges at the state's intermediate appellate court and anticipate that families will keep utilizing vouchers throughout the legal process.
- The state pledged to appeal, the program will continue during this process, and the ruling sets a significant precedent for Ohio's education funding debate.
