13. Ohio has issues also

Ohio has issues also with education and teacher pay. The current form of school funding by the state has been ruled unconstitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court on several different cases. This coupled with numerous state funding cuts along with increased unfunded State and Federal mandates has thrown the school districts to rely and seek more local funds through tax levies and income taxes for schools in order to meet the operational demands.
The recent State rollback of property valuations have only exacerbated the funding issue.
Now we come to the great recession and the decrease in property values further reducing tax revenues for schools. Also added the issue of job losses and reduction in incomes.
Now, the overreliance on property taxes has made continued compensation for teachers even more problematic.
Gov. Kasich' s response, in his biennium budget, request a small increase for more financially well off districts, leave the rest on their own as to finding other sources of funding. In addition, set aside more funding for private charter schools which further reduces funds for public education.
All I have detailed ultimately has an adverse effect on teacher compensation. President Obama's Race To The Top is really to the top of a hill that has been cut down.
