SCHOOL FUNDING BALLOT INITIATIVE
The Ohio Fair Schools Campaign is working to fix Ohio's unconstitutional school funding system. Since October of 2005, they have been part of the effort that involved Ohio Mayors and Ohio education organizations in creating a school funding remedy that could be placed on the ballot.
Getting It Right for Ohio's Future supports a constitutional amendment to establish a high-quality education as a fundamental right for Ohio's children through the implementation of a new school funding model. The amendment would help develop a well-educated work force to attract good jobs and restore Ohio's competitiveness.
