Kasich promises charter schools $11.5 Million in new funding for facilities

By On January 31, 2013 · 6 Comments

As part of his school funding roll out today, Governor Kasich promised to provide every charter school in the state an additional $100 per child to pay for “facilities”.

In the 2010-2011 school year Ohio had 114,667 children in charter schools.

Total new funds sent to charter schools for “facilities”: $11,466,700

    Do you mean per child or per school? This post is very unclear to me. And what specifically would this be for? Charter schools have a very wide range of “facility” situations and needs? Is it just an additional stipend to be use for whatever in order to goose up charter funding? Details please if you have them.

    Per child, yes.

    We haven’t seen any detailed bill language yet, but I don’t imagine the Governor would put too many restrictions on how the money can be used.

    Imagine the extra funding for a school business such as ECOT that has no buildings for students to attend. The only building or office would be the corporate headquarters. Although the detailed language has not been reviewed, as Joseph has pointed out, in the past restrictions have been few for the charter schools.

    Will his children be going to these schools.

    It is all loosey-goosey here in Ohio as far as charter schools go. Owners of charters can make big money, and some of it is documented here ( for ex. http://tinyurl.com/asr7e9c ).Scroll through and check out how White Hat’s Life Skills are doing with our tax money (http://tinyurl.com/b5fx88s).

    Boy, those campaign contributions from David Brennan are beginning to really pay off, aren’t they?
