COLUMBUS State Representative Craig S. Riedel (R-Defiance) announced the Ohio House has approved House Bill 110, the state’s two-year operating budget that creates a new school funding plan and provides tax relief to Ohioans.
The Fair School Funding Plan is a historic initiative that is the result of collaboration among educators and policymakers for the past three years. The plan begins a six-year phase-in, starting with the 2021-2022 school year and is designed to ensure a hold harmless period during the transition to the new formula.
“I’m proud to support a fix to Ohio’s school funding formula,” said Riedel. “This new model is predictable, sustainable, and transparent while ensuring fairness to all of Ohio’s schools.”
