Ohio Appellate Court Rules EdChoice Voucher Program Unconstitutional Amidst $1.173 Billion Spending

An Ohio appellate court has ruled the state's EdChoice voucher program unconstitutional, a decision that comes as the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce reported a "mind-blowing" $1.173 billion spent on the state's five private school voucher programs for the 2026 fiscal year. This ruling adds pressure on lawmakers to address school funding, with the Ohio Education Association president raising concerns about public tax dollars going to largely unaccountable private schools.
