Ohio joined the growing number of states passing pro-school choice legislation by expanding its voucher program to more families.<\/p>\n

“Ohio is the eighth state to go all-in on school choice in just two years,” Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, told Fox News. “The dam is breaking for the government school monopoly.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The $86 billion education budget that Gov. Mike DeWine signed Tuesday included pro-school choice<\/a> policies, joining Arizona, West Virginia, Iowa, Utah, Arkansas, Florida and Oklahoma, which passed similar legislation in the past two years.<\/p>\n

Ohio’s<\/a> voucher expansion allows families earning up to 450% of the federal poverty line ($135,000 for a family of four) to apply for scholarships. Previously, only families earning up to $250% of the poverty line were eligible.<\/p>\n

The scholarships provided increased by 12% \u2014 the same increase public schools received \u2014 with up to about $6,200 for K-8 students and $8,400 for high schoolers to use for private schools or for homeschooling.<\/p>\n

The funding a family receives depends on income, though scholarships won’t drop below 10% of the full scholarship amount, according to Dayton Daily News<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Now Ohio joins the growing list of states that are empowering all families with school choice by making every K-12 student eligible for an opportunity scholarship,” Jason Bedrick, a research fellow at\u00a0the Center for Education Policy at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Gov. DeWine and state lawmakers deserve great credit for putting families in the driver\u2019s seat when it comes to their kids\u2019 education,” Bedrick added. “Families deserve to be able to choose learning environments that align with their values and best fit their children\u2019s unique learning needs. In Ohio, that aspiration is becoming a reality.”<\/p>\n

Families will be able to verify their income by showing their eligibility for other state and federal income-based programs, signing an affidavit about meeting the requirements or by providing other information the Department of Education requests.<\/p>\n

Currently, the EdChoice program costs about an annual $350 million and is distributed to more than 60,000 students, according to Ohio’s Office of Budget and Management<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

School vouchers were first available in Ohio in Cleveland in 1996 then expanded statewide in 2005, according to the Ohio Department of Education\u2019s website<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Education freedom is flowing through red states and there’s nothing the teachers unions can do about it,” DeAngelis siad. “I’d like to thank Randi Weingarten and her union allies for overplaying their hand and awakening a sleeping giant: parents.”<\/p>\n
