| School Funding Case Continues in Ohio
Supreme Court. |

By Bill Rice - June 14, 2001 |

The state General Assembly has until Friday to file briefs defending its new
school funding remedy with the Ohio Supreme Court. In DeRolph vs. the state of
Ohio, the seven justices had found the current system to be unconstitutional.
Next week the court will hear testimony from both sides in the case as to whether
this latest funding fix, which includes a $1.4 billion boost for public education,
meets or does not meet constitutional requirements. Yesterday we traced the DeRolph
case from its original filing in 1991, through two Supreme Court Rulings, to its
present status. Bill Rice of public radio station WCPN picks it up there, in part
two of our story. |
