Our annual report, State of Ohio Schools, is hot off the metaphorical press! The following 🧵features Tanisha S. Pruitt, Ph.D.’s key research findings: (1/10) policymattersohio.org/research-polic…

Lawmakers used the budget to divert public funding to private schools through a universal voucher program. They made vouchers available to even the wealthiest households in the state — many who already send their children to private schools, without any tuition assistance. (2/10)

Private schools are mostly in the counties with larger populations, with 11 rural counties in Ohio having no private schools whatsoever. Divestments from public education at the state level hurt public school students everywhere — especially those in rural counties. (3/10)

If Ohio’s starting teacher salary had kept up with inflation since 2018, it would have been $51,165 in 2022. Instead, it was $37,569, well below the national average of $41,163. Teachers earned 76.5 cents on the dollar compared to other college graduates in 2021. (4/10)

Since 2020, 16,012 Ohio public school teachers have left their classrooms. Early-career teachers have made up a disproportionate share of those leaving, representing 20% of the teacher workforce but accounting for 35% of all teachers exiting public schools in 2021. (5/10)

Teachers have also experienced a rash of targeted political campaigns to stoke division by denying the identities of trans and nonbinary students, as well as censoring what teachers are allowed to teach. These attacks have driven many out of the profession. (6/10)

In 2022, Black teachers accounted for only about 4.2% of all teachers in Ohio but made up 12.3% of the state’s employed workforce. Recruiting more Black educators can address teacher shortages and close this racial gap. (7/10)

Statewide staff-to-student ratios for school psychologists, counselors, and nurses fall short of recommended ratios, indicating these key supportive staff are stretched too thin to adequately help all of their students. (8/10)

The percentage of children demonstrating kindergarten readiness decreased from 41.5% in 2017-18 to only 35.4% in 2022-23, while the share of students showing they need significant help increased from 22.4% to 30.1%. (9/10)

We can support our public schools by fully phasing in the Fair School Funding Plan in the next budget, eliminating vouchers to protect public school funding, increasing teacher pay, reducing barriers to the profession, and implementing a statewide universal pre-k program. (10/10)
