It is an accepted fact that school funding in the State of Ohio is as debated as it is confounding. Questions surrounding its equity, not to mention is constitutionality, have been plaguing the state for almost two decades.

Up until last week, it seemed that a new bipartisan approach was going to be implemented, but has now been held up for further refinement.

To understand the murky waters of educational funding, we welcome Howard Fleeter (Owner of Fleeter & Associates), Melissa Cropper (President of the Ohio Federation Of Teachers), Tracy Nájera (Executive Director of the Children’s Defense Fund), and host Jim Seigel (Ohio Statehouse reporter at The Columbus Dispatch).
