When we let vouchers drain our schools, it hurts us all.
March 25, 2025
Wow!
The number of school districts that are joining our lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the harmful private school voucher program continues to grow.
More than 300 districts, or nearly half of the public school districts in Ohio, have been members one or more years since the 2020-21 school year.
Twenty seven new districts have signed on in 2025 so we are experiencing nearly 10 percent growth in the first quarter of the year.
We want to thank the board members, superintendents and treasurers in all the districts that have joined for standing up for public schools, public school children and their communities as we witness the state siphon away nearly $1 billion for private, most often religious, schools with zero financial or academic accountability.
It’s not only wrong. We believe it is unconstitutional.
In just the past week, the following districts joined the VHO lawsuit.
Berea Local, Brecksville-Broadview Heights and Independence Local in Cuyahoga County.
Centerville City in Montgomery County
Cloverleaf Local in Medina County
Lakota Local in Butler County
Northridge Local in Montgomery County
Sebring Local in Mahoning County
As you can see, these districts represent rural, suburban and city schools.
Vouchers go on trial in 2025 in Franklin County.
