Rally For Fair School Funding
At the Ohio State House
 
The League of Ohio and the Farmers Union will rally for fair school funding, with a focus on rural schools, on Wednesday, May 28 at noon, with legislator visits at 1:00 p.m. Learn the details and sign up here.. 
 
HB 96 is the Ohio budget bill for FY 2026-2027. It passed the Ohio House on April 9, and is pending in the Ohio Senate.
 
The House budget abandons the Fair School Funding plan. It eliminates supplemental assistance for poorer districts to address gaps in local funding, while expanding vouchers for private schools. Most rural areas have no private schools, so the budget will undercut the education of rural Ohio children. We are more familiar with its effect on the urban poor; this is a reminder that Ohio is a diverse state.
