Ohio teachers warned the state s universal voucher entitlement program will negatively affect public education, and in a lawsuit expected to move forward this month, they are arguing it is unconstitutional. Recent changes to the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship Program allow all families, regardless of income, to apply for more than $8,000 dollars in vouchers per child to pay for private schools.
