UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio- The Upper Arlington School Board has decided to support the Vouchers Hurt Ohio lawsuit against the state’s EdChoice voucher program. Despite recent attention from Ohio’s lieutenant governor, the board voted three to two in favor of joining the lawsuit, citing concerns about the impact of vouchers on public school funding. Some community members cheered the decision, while others argue that parents should have the freedom to choose the best school for their children.
Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted opposed the board’s decision, expressing concerns about taxpayer money and community division. However, some residents view his opposition as an opportunity to address misinformation about the voucher program. Data shows a discrepancy in the number of low-income and non-low-income students benefiting from the vouchers. The move by Upper Arlington is seen as a potential catalyst for other wealthy districts to join the lawsuit.
