Superintendents for Ada, Upper Scioto Valley, Kenton, Hardin Northern, Ridgemont and Midwest Regional ESC last week posted a letter to citizens of Hardin County stating that Ohio’s growing EdChoice voucher program threatens to undermined the system of public education in Ohio.
Stating several facts about taxes and the voucher program, the letter states:
“Vouchers cost $4,650 for K-8 students and $6,000 each year for high school students, taking money from the public schools to pay for private and parochial tuition.
“A student can keep the voucher throughout their career, costing taxpayers nearly $66,000 per pupil to pay for a private education.
