Ohio Republican leaders are looking at cutting spending for public education.

Ohio Supreme Court ruled in 1997 that the way the state funds schools is unconstitutional.

House Speaker Matt Huffman is a champion of sending taxpayer dollars to private schools.

Two Northeast Ohio superintendents beg him to reconsider but also question how accountable the voucher system truly is.

The state spent roughly $1 billion in public money to send kids to nonpublic schools in 2024 .

The number of students receiving EdChoice Expansion vouchers increased from 23,272 students during 2022-2023 school year to 82,946 students during the 2023-2024 school year .

The funding plan will be decided in the budget — which will be heard in the coming months .

Smialek asks Huffman : "What type of education do you want for the lesser privileged among us?" The funding for the Cupp Patterson funding plan has always been three phases.
