Stephen Dyer keeps an eye on privatizer shenanigans in Ohio, and spots some of the alarming details about how Ohio is handling school choice.
Ohio now directly funds more private schools than it does public schools.
And not by a small amount.
There are 656 private schools getting at least some taxpayer-funded voucher money from the EdChoice, EdChoice Expansion or Cleveland voucher programs.
This year, there are 611 school districts getting taxpayer-funded state aid.
In fact, the state provides taxpayer-funded tuition subsidies for 70 percent or more students in a stunning 613 private schools, which is still more than the number of Ohio public school districts!
Not only that, but nearly 85 percent of all Ohio private school students get a taxpayer-funded tuition subsidy now, up from 14 percent 12 years ago.
