School Voucher Plan Gain Support

Groups representing superintendents and business officials from public schools are supporting a proposal to make eligibility for Ohio’s voucher system based on family income instead of school performance. The public school administrators’ groups tell reporters they support a plan passed by the House that would create the Buckeye Scholarship Opportunity program. Students from families making up to 250% of federal poverty guidelines would be eligible. The State Senate hasn’t yet voted on the plan.
