Ohio voucher program: Data shows nearly 90% of participants are not low-income

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Ohio's K-12 voucher program has made headlines recently as lawmakers consider trimming millions in state funds for public schools while expanding funds for state vouchers.
56% : Further, according to a report from the General Assembly, 17% of EdChoice-Exp scholarships go to the state's top earners, all making more than $200,000 per year.
53% : That means fully and fairly funding public schools rather than handing out vouchers to private or unregulated charter schools," State Rep. Anita Somani (D-Dublin) said.
35% : Many Democratic lawmakers, public school advocates and teachers' unions point to state data like this to say vouchers no longer help low-income students and instead defer money from public schools.
