Bad for students. Bad for higher education. Bad for Ohio.
Senate Bill 83, sponsored by Senator Jerry Cirino (R-Kirkland), was introduced on March 14, 2023. It is a sweeping piece of legislation that proposes an unprecedented level of political interference and micromanagement of Ohio’s colleges and universities.
Urge Legislators to Update and Fully Fund the Fair School Funding Plan
Full implementation and updates to the funding plan will ensure that all of Ohio’s students, regardless of their zip code, their race, or their family income, receive the resources needed to thrive and succeed.
Urge your legislators to oppose voucher expansion
Several proposals in the Ohio legislature propose massive expansions in eligibility for school vouchers. Voucher programs use public taxpayer money to pay for private school tuition for students. This comes at the expense of the approximately 90% of students who attend Ohio’s public schools. Contact your legislators and urge them to say no to voucher expansion.
