Enact the EdChoice Fair Fiscal Responsibility Act
This bill, known as the EdChoice Fair Fiscal Responsibility Act, modifies the Ohio Educational Choice Scholarship Pilot Program to adjust how students qualify for public funding to attend private schools. It primarily affects students currently enrolled in low-performing public schools or those living in districts with high poverty rates, as well as families who have already received scholarships under the pilot program. The legislation establishes new eligibility criteria based on recent school performance rankings and district poverty levels, while also ensuring that current scholarship recipients can continue their funding until they graduate high school if they meet ongoing attendance and testing requirements. Additionally, the bill sets specific rules for when the state will stop issuing new scholarships to schools or districts that no longer meet the established performance or poverty thresholds.
