H.  WHEREAS, the Ohio House of Representative is currently considering legislation that

would significantly expand the availability of vouchers for students to attend private or

parochial schools; and

WHEREAS, this legislation would grant vouchers to any public school student in Ohio to request and be granted a voucher, subject only to a family income standard of $95,000 or less; and

WHEREAS, such vouchers would be granted without regard to the academic

performance of the public school that the student is assigned to attend; and

WHEREAS, the bill provides that students already enrolled in private or parochial

schools would be eligible for such vouchers; and

WHEREAS, students receiving vouchers would be able to retain any excess funds in

those instances where the cost of tuition is less than the value of the voucher for use in

any private school or college in Ohio; and

WHEREAS, the operation of the proposed program would take dollars directly from the

already financially beleaguered local public school districts resulting in fewer resources for the education of the remaining students;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Windham Board of Education

does hereby express its opposition to this legislation, HB 136 School Choice; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Windham Board of Education expresses its

opposition to any legislation that seeks to transfer public dollars to support private

education; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Treasurer be directed to spread this resolution upon the minutes of the Board of Education and that copies of the resolution be forwarded to members of the Ohio House of Representatives.
