Ogden Newspaper Editorial
If you’re in the dark about what your tax dollars are funding with these vouchers, you’re not alone. State Senate Bill 443, which lawmakers are calling the “Take the Dough, We Gotta Know Act,” would do something to change that.

Plain Dealer Editorial
Ohio is using a federal education waiver request to try to hide a bid to seize low-performing public schools and force them to close or transfer assets to private entities. That's wrong.

Piet van Lier, @Honesty4OhioEd, argues districts should not be mandated to bus private school kids
“If you want to provide busing for private school students, pay for it & have them bus them. They already have separate school system; they should have a separate busing system too”

[Honesty For Ohio Education @Honesty4OhioEd]

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A state workgroup is recommending Ohio move away from school district-run student busing toward regional transportation networks that would serve students across multiple districts, and charter and private schools.
