Restore Funding of Public Schools & Eliminate Unconstitutional EdChoice Vouchers

I am writing to demand immediate action to restore Ohio’s commitment to public education by fully implementing the **Fair School Funding Plan** and eliminating the unconstitutional **EdChoice voucher program**, which diverts critical resources from our public schools. Ohio’s public schools are the foundation of our communities, yet they remain underfunded while millions of taxpayer dollars are siphoned away to private institutions through EdChoice. The Ohio Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that our school funding system is unconstitutional, yet the legislature continues to neglect its duty to provide a **thorough and efficient** education for all students. The **Fair School Funding Plan**, developed through bipartisan collaboration, was a crucial step toward equitable and adequate funding for every Ohio student. Abandoning this plan in favor of expanding vouchers exacerbates inequality, harms rural and urban districts alike, and violates the Ohio Constitution. **I demand that you:** 1. **Fully fund the Fair School Funding Plan** to ensure all public schools have the resources they need. 2. **End the EdChoice voucher program**, which drains public school budgets without accountability. 3. **Prioritize public tax dollars for public schools**, as required by the Ohio Constitution. Ohio’s children deserve better. Stop subsidizing private schools at the expense of 90% of students who rely on public education. It’s time to fulfill your constitutional obligation and invest in Ohio’s future. I expect your prompt response detailing your plan to address this urgent issue.
