Maybe there's hope for school funding reform

Thursday, February 7, 2019 8:15 AM

This time around, Reps. Robert Cupp and John Patterson have crafted a credible plan. The speaker, according to an article in the Feb. 2 Columbus Dispatch, says the Cupp/Patterson plan “is a very good base plan.” Maybe, just maybe, a Perry County speaker can pave the way to remedy the system a Perry County judge ruled unconstitutional.

State officials oppose school districts’ motion to intervene in ECOT litigation

Friday, February 1, 2019 9:24 AM

It is clear that state officials do not want the school districts to be involved in the attorney general’s suit against ECOT. Equally clear, they don’t want the school districts to be able to seek recovery of funds from the companies that did business with ECOT.

More about charter facility leases that diminish classroom opportunities

Friday, January 25, 2019 5:45 PM

Online charter corruption seems widespread. A few years ago, Nicholas Trombetta in Pennsylvania was convicted of stealing $8 million. (Some Ohio public officials visited Trombetta’s online charter operation. They believed Trombetta’s self-reporting of miraculous results.)

School funding views of Ohio Department of Education head not helpful in resolving unconstitutional system

Monday, January 21, 2019 8:09 AM

A constitutional system requires that public schools must be accommodated by an adequate tax policy. State officials cannot be excused from securing a high-quality, thorough and efficient public education system by perpetuating an inadequate tax system.

Monday, January 14, 2019 2:00 PM

Hopefully, the 133rd General Assembly and the new governor will follow the outgoing state auditor’s recommendation and investigate charters' facility deals.

My mother’s Christmas memory

Monday, December 17, 2018 8:59 PM

As a man, I cannot know the special relationship that surely exists between a mother and her newborn child which she has carried in her body for months, has been part of her for months. I don’t know if the season has special significance for mothers who give birth just before Christmas. But for my mother, it was special. Not a Christmas went by that she did not tell me of her experience when she gave birth to her firstborn son on Dec. 17, 1942.
