How The Buckeye Institute Expanded School Choice to Every Child in Every Family in Every Community in Ohio
Read the Case Study
The Buckeye Institute achieved a significant victory when Ohio adopted universal school choice in 2023. Still, Ohio’s achievement gaps between black, Hispanic, and white students should concern all Ohioans. Much of the entrenched education bureaucracy remains focused on getting more taxpayer dollars—despite falling enrollment in many public schools—and Ohio’s high schools are not graduating enough students ready to meet the demands of today’s economy. Simply put, there are plenty of opportunities to improve Ohio’s education system, and The Buckeye Institute is leading these efforts by developing cutting-edge policies and proposing innovative and durable reforms that will address these and other issues facing Ohio, including:
- Increasing classroom space across the state to meet the rising demand for private and charter schools;
- Making inter-district open enrollment mandatory for all Ohio public schools; and
- Creating a sustainable student-first education funding system.
