CLEVELAND â Some local parents are keeping close watch on Ohio s Fair School Funding Plan, which is under debate by the Ohio House and Senate in Columbus.
Joan Spoerl is a Cleveland Heights mother who is concerned about the academic future of her 16-year-old son. Spoerl, who testified at the Statehouse on the plan, is concerned the Senate version of the plan is not enough of a funding increase to help students and reduce the tax burden on homeowners.

COLUMBUS The Ohio House and Senate have a little more than two weeks to decide how to and how much to pay for public education, how much money taxpayers get to keep and how to get rural areas better access to high-speed internet.
Those are a few of the differences between a two-year budget passed Wednesday by the Senate and a House plan passed earlier in the legislative session. A conference committee will be charged with working out compromises in order to meet a June 30 deadline for passing a budget.
Fund alternatives to youth incarceration
By Kenza Kamal - Contributing columnist
It costs Ohio taxpayers $185,303 to incarcerate one child for one year. This is a staggering amount for us to spend on youth incarceration, an ineffective and harmful approach to the needs of communities in our state – particularly young Black Ohioans, who are six times more likely than their white counterparts to be incarcerated.
Amidst this past year’s surge in grassroots organizing and Black youth-led movements, several states are planning to end the status quo and change course. Ohio’s lawmakers are currently in the process of creating our state budget for the next two years, which is an opportunity for us to shift resources from the dangerous practice of youth incarceration to community-based approaches.
