Waiter, the gentleman will try the charter school. The lady would like to try a private school, please. Order whatever you want; the state’s picking up the tab. For parents, selecting a school next year might be like ordering off a menu. And that menu will expand as early as March, when private schools decide whether they’d like to welcome students who use new school vouchers.
The rules for the hotly debated program, which will give students in certain struggling schools money to attend private ones, will make an initial appearance before the State Board of Education on Tuesday.
A public hearing and a state administrative review follow so that, by February, final rules for using the new Ohio EdChoice vouchers will be in place.
