Ohio education groups that supported the House's school funding formula overhaul say they're concerned about the Senate's plan. New report says it uses property values from 2014, 2015 and 2016, income data from 2013 and student enrollment counts and teacher salary data from 2019.
The report from @OHschoolboards, @oasbo and @BASA_Supt says: “By using data that is now three bienniums old, the Senate’s school funding proposal will create significant disruptions and likely be much more costly in the FY24-25 biennium" when that data is updated"
Senate leaders had questions about the cost and old data in the House proposal, which would replace the current and arguably broken formula with an overhaul phased in over 6 years based on 60% property taxes, 40% income (that's a simplified version of it). statenews.org/post/ohios-sch…
The Senate plan goes back to a two-year formula, which GOP leaders said was more sustainable and transparent - but the school groups' report says it uses old data, and "is essentially a recalculation of the FY19
funding formula with a handful of changes." statenews.org/post/senate-re…

House and Senate conference committee have to work out the differences on this before the budget deadline June 30. Here's my recap of the House and Senate plans in a feature for @WKSU's Learning Curve: wksu.org/education/2021…
