Ohio Supreme Court rules charter schools constitutional

COLUMBUS - Ohio's expanding experiment with charter schools is constitutional, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled this morning in a splintered decision.

"When the General Assembly enacted Ohio's Community Schools Act, it was entrusted with making complicated decisions about our state's educational policy,'' wrote Justice Judith Lanzinger, a Toledo Republican. "These policy decisions are within the purview of its legislative responsibilities, and that legislation is entitled to deference.''

She was joined in the 4-3 majority by Chief Justice Thomas Moyer and Justices Maureen O'Connor and Evelyn Lundberg Stratton.

1. Hopefully, Gov Strickland will defund the charter schools

after the report came out showing them to be no better than the public schools. However, I think he might have to get it through the gop gerrymandered legislature.
