[Ohiogift] Statewide school funding

[Ann Sheldon]

Gifted advocates should not that the gifted funding formula in HB305 is still highly flawed. We are hopeful that the bill’s co-sponsors will consider OAGC’s request for changes which you can find at http://www.oagc.com/files/OAGC%20Amendment%20Requests%20to%20HB305.9.16.19.pdf <http://www.oagc.com/files/OAGC%20Amendment%20Requests%20to%20HB305.9.16.19.pdf> .

The article suggests that the new plan is, unfortunately, taking the slow road to completion. (This is in many ways a continuation of the failed implementation of Ohio Supreme Court rulings on the DeRolph case that began in the 1990s; the Legislature has defied these rulings ever since, however.) The future looks bleak, too, with this article quote: "House Speaker Larry Householder, R-Glenford, has said he will be happy if the package is completed in time for the next two-year state budget, which will be considered in early 2021."
