Ohio public schools

Ohio’s teachers and school employees are in the next group that will get the coronavirus vaccine starting February 1.

The Ohio legislature is expected to overhaul the state’s school funding formula by the end of its lame-duck session this month, the most recent attempt to address a system declared unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court four times. The state’s highest court found the existing system of relying on property taxes for school funding unfairly favored districts with higher property values. That system, in conjunction with Northeast Ohio’s history of redlining, disproportionately hurts majority-Black communities and school districts.

A school funding overhaul that’s been in the works for five years passed the Ohio House by a huge margin and is on its way to the Senate.

Gov. Mike DeWine on Tuesday outlined how the state will distribute a COVID-19 vaccine when one becomes available; more Ohio school districts are moving to all remote learning as coronavirus cases surge; Ohioans continue to cast ballots at a record pace two weeks before the Nov. 3 presidential election, and more stories.
