Charter funding lawsuit headed to Supreme Court
Last year I wrote about how state lawmakers stepped in to stop a settlement deal that would have brought $14 million to Dayton to correct what urban districts insist was an improper revision of the way their money is re-routed to charter schools.
On behalf of urban districts, Cincinnati schools sued and won but the state appealed. The appeals court has now reaffirmed the lower court decision that the state owes urban school districts somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million.
But the Ohio Board of Education last week decided to appeal again, this time to the Ohio Supreme Court.
So the case lives on. I wonder what it would mean for Dayton if it suddenly received $14 million. How would they use it? Would it affect the plan for a fall levy? I guess there’s no reason to worry about that now.
