That enables students to continue using the vouchers until they graduate from high school, while new participants come on board. While public school advocates have concerns about the ever- growing amount of state money going to vouchers, Sarah Pechan, senior director of programs at School Choice Ohio, is excited about new program. Pechan said she expects kindergartners will be eligible in “every nook and cranny of the state,” though students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District can’t participate because they already have a separate voucher program. The Ohio Department of Education hasn’t done a tally of how many applications have come in yet. But judging from calls to the School Choice Ohio office, parents are interested, Pechan said.
Here’s how the new income- based program works: Families apply by filling out a form they can find by going online to the Ohio Department of Education’s site. The completed form and supporting documents must be mailed to the department by July 3. Students can keep the voucher through high school as long as income stays within 4.
Selection will be by lottery so everyone has the same chance whether they mail their application in early July or late July. On Aug. 1, approved families will have a list of participating private schools to which they can apply. But families can talk to schools they’re interested in and even start the enrollment process before then. Students still have to be accepted by the private school in order to enroll.

That new population is also destined to keep growing with a new grade and 2,0. The cost to taxpayers for the first year’s 2,0. But by the time this year’s kindergartners are high school seniors, as many as 2. Those numbers will be even higher if legislators boost the number or worth of the vouchers in coming years. For now, private school educators like Melanie Kemp are looking forward to serving more families who would have a hard time paying tuition without vouchers. Kemp is principal of Summit Christian School in Cuyahoga Falls.
The school has been in the original Ed. Choice program for about five years, she said. About a third of the school’s students, most from Akron, qualified for those vouchers because they otherwise would have been assigned to a low- performing public school. In Kemp’s view, the best part of the new program is that it starts with kindergarten.
