Public schools participating in a lawsuit against the state over vouchers say the most recent budget massively increased the EdChoice Scholarship Program.
AJ Calderone, superintendent of LaBrae Local Schools in Trumbull County, criticized recent actions by the legislature at a Tuesday press conference. Calderone is part of a coalition of public schools suing the state over vouchers.
The architects of the overhaul, made up of bipartisan lawmakers and school district funding experts, designed the plan to be incrementally funded over six years. The General Assembly funded the first two years and directed funds in the state’s two-year budget bill that passed in late June to pay for years three and four. The Fair School Funding Plan, when fully funded, will cost at least $2 billion more a year above 2018 education spending levels, which were about $8 billion.
Family income eligibility for vouchers also increased in the recent budget bill from 250% of the Federal Poverty Level, or $69,375 for a family of four, to up to 450%, or $135,000 for a family of four.
