Vouchers: now Ohio


Vouchers proposed for students, Those attending poorly performing schools would qualify (annoying free registration or bugmenot bypass).
The 70 schools that would be affected by the program if it existed today are mostly in major Ohio cities -- 20 in Cincinnati, 14 in Columbus, the 13 in Dayton, eight in Youngstown, six in Toledo and five in Akron.

The program would provide $3,500 each to 2,600 students, Taft said. Susan Bodary, a [Gov Bob] Taft aide, said details still are being worked out but that students probably would be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
None in Cleveland, which is a real shame.

HT to Nix guy.
