Shortchanging Ohio's Charter Students: An Analysis of Charter Funding in Fiscal Years 2015-17
Churchill, Aaron
Thomas B. Fordham Institute
Ever since the first charter school opened in Minnesota in 1992, the battle for fair funding has raged across the land. Advocates of charters--independently run, nonprofit public schools--have pressed hard to eliminate the massive disparities in the funding that charter students receive when compared with their district-operated peers serving similar children. Regrettably, Ohio has a long history of shortchanging its charter schools, including the best and most effective of them. To compare charter and district funding, the present analysis examines data produced by the Ohio Department of Education from 2014-15 through 2016-17--that is, the three FYs 2015-17. This study of charter funding reveals continuing inequities in the Buckeye State, the most troubling of which are found in the Big Eight cities where charters are underfunded by 28 percent.
