Issue Position: Education Funding

Issue Position

Ohio's funding of education is a redistribution of wealth scheme. Money is taken from the wealthier areas of Ohio, such as the district I represent, and is sent to other parts of the state that need more money. In addition, school districts with declining student enrollment are still receiving the same amount of money while those districts that are growing are not seeing any increase in money from the state. I introduced HB 228 to rectify this, and plan to re-introduce this in the next General Assembly with continued work toward rectifying the state's education funding issues.
