Ohio has awarded more than 82,000 vouchers for private school students for the 2023-2024 school year .
Vouchers account for almost half of the 170,000 students enrolled in private schools during the 2022-2023 school year . Opponents say the state shouldn't be shelling out taxpayer money for private, oftentimes religious, education.
Vouchers for high school students also increased dramatically, a nearly five-fold jump from the previous school year .
Lawmakers have proposed creating educational saving accounts for students at non-chartered, nonpublic schools.
House Bill 339 would cost about $238 million per year if all 32,000 of their estimated students obtained a savings account.
