After seeing their property tax bills spike, voters have become increasingly wary of school levies.
Now some districts are taking a different approach that avoids property tax increases, seeking income tax levies instead.
On Cincinnati Edition, we ask why school leaders think voters might be more receptive to that approach.
Plus, a bill moving through the statehouse puts Ohio school districts on notice: if they sue over private school vouchers, the measure could allow the state to withhold funding.
Guests:
- Mike Sander, Franklin City Schools Superintendent
- Jay Phillips, Fairfield City School District Treasurer
- Jerry Rampelt, founder, Support Ohio Schools
- Brandon Craig, Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education President
- Melissa Cropper, Ohio Federation of Teachers President
