Title: Addressing Issues in State Funding of Public Education

Addressing Issues in State Funding of Public Education

When it comes to state funding of public education, the following issues must be addressed:

Phantom Revenue/Chargeoff: All forms of phantom revenue must be eliminated. The local share must be based ona ctual local revenues available.

Pooling: We must reject the pooling of local tax revenues and/or the diverting of locally approved revenues to other entities.

Inflationary Growth: Schools districts must realize real funding growth adequate to address revenue needs without requiring voter approval of new tax levies.

Public/Non public school funding: Ohio's public schools should receive the same per pupil amount as the chartered nonpublic schools in Ohio receive.

I support these issues to fix Ohio's public schools funding issues.

I think he means that the public school's funding should be reduced to match what the charter schools receive.
