At times when school levies and property tax relief are hot-button political issues, a persistent myth about Ohio Lottery profits and education tends to resurface. One listener asked WOSU’s "Curious Cbus," “Wasn’t the state lottery supposed to replace property taxes as a method of school financing?”
The use of taxes, including property taxes, to pay for that education dates by to the America's original 13 colonies. We talk about the history of education funding in the United States and Ohio and where it is heading in the near future.
We’ll hear from the superintendents of Columbus City Schools, Hilliard City Schools and Fairfield-Union Local Schools for an urban, suburban and rural perspective.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are trying to reform property taxes, but is there a way to do that without leaving public K-12 schools in financial distress? We will hear from two Ohio lawmakers: Republican State Sen. Louis Blessing and Democratic State Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney.
We talk to three different Ohio school districts that are asking voters to support their local schools in three different ways.
