Suit Given Clear Path

A lawsuit…objecting to Ohio’s school voucher program…may proceed, after a Franklin County judge denied the state’s motion to dismiss. Ohio’s Attorney General’s office argued that student and school district plaintiffs lacked standing to sue and the courts have already settled the issue. The lawsuit argues that the EdChoice program diverts funding from public schools to private schools, potentially violating the state’s constitution. Attorney General, Dave Yost filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in May, but Franklin County Judge Jaiza Page’s decision will allow the case to move forward.
