- It’s an all-voucher edition of the Bites today. First up: Another look at House Bill 715, designed to “provide parents and the public with more information about the performance of private schools” that accept students using EdChoice and Ohio’s other voucher programs. You can take a look at the details on what is and isn’t in the bill (specifically as compared to an earlier version of the legislation) for yourself. But the most important thing we learn here is that one of the co-sponsors has a tickler on his schedule to call the House Education Committee Chair at the end of April so that the bill can have its first hearing when the General Assembly returns after the May primary election break. I personally love getting that kind of insider detail on the operations of our representative government. How about you? (Cleveland.com, 4/7/26)
- However, none of the above effort to “preserve the awesome educational benefits of Ed Choice, Autism, and Peterson Special Needs scholarships for private school students and their parents” may even be necessary since the next hearing date for the voucher groucher lawsuit is scheduled for May 12 in the 10th District Court of Appeals, at which point every one of those programs—and their awesomeness—could be eliminated. (Spectrum News 1 Ohio, 4/8/26)
