Dear Senator Tom Sawyer,
It has come to my attention that the Ohio Supreme Court has found Ohio's system of school finance to be unconstitutional not once, but five times. If the Court ordered a complete systematic overhaul in order to remedy the unconstitutional education system, then why is the current system still in place? According to School Funding Facts and Principles, "The first order of business for the [Blue Ribbon Commission on Financing Student Success] is to determine what educational opportunities must be available in the classrooms and school buildings of Ohio and what is expected of students upon graduation." Students are expected to graduate as well educated, competent individuals, with the hope of finding success in the workplace and in life. Therefore, it would make sense to give students the resources they need to be successful: mainly, decent and efficient systems of public education. In order to produce affluent individuals from the Ohio Education System, we must provide students with an adequate education; Students should be given quality work environments and current educational resources.
By giving children the proper education and work environments that they deserve, we are helping to foster a better future for everyone. How can we expect students to become successful individuals and flourish in the work environment if they are given a less than adequate education and learning space? The unconstitutionality of Ohio's current system of school finance largely influences the lives of children today. We must address this problem if we wish to be prosperous in society.
Thank You,
Ashley Cantor
