The novel coronavirus and the State of Ohio’s efforts to limit its spread forced Ohioans to make significant changes to how they live and work. Though these changes were sudden and unexpected, by and large Ohioans responded by finding ways to continue to live and work safely. 2. Perhaps the most ubiquitous adaptation across Ohio workplaces was the shift to working from home. Indeed, in many cases, the health orders issued by the State of Ohio made working from home the only option for some workplaces. In many cases, those workplaces discovered that—subject to some minor inconveniences—employees could still successfully perform their jobs remotely, without physically setting foot in their offices. 3. It is well-established, however, that where an employee performs his or her work has tax consequences.

DESCRIPTORS Educational Change; *Educational Equity (Finance); *Educational Finance; Elementary Secondary Education; *Finance Reform; School District Spending; Student Costs IDENTIFIERS *Child Centered Education; *Ohio ABSTRACT This document outlines a framework for a child-centered education approach to meet the requirements of the school-funding reforms mandated by the Ohio Supreme Court. The restructuring, which tied funding to education opportunity, was in response to the court case, "DeRolph vs. State," which ended reliance on the local property tax as the primary funding source for public schools, gave the state the primary responsibility for funding education, improved funding for facilities, and linked the costs of a child's education to school funding. The paper details how Child-Centered Education uses market-oriented reforms to transform public education, institutionalize accountability, improve productivity, and meet the mandate of "DeRolph." The mechanism provides incentives for stakeholders within the system to reform their own schools through competition for students. The report outlines how child-centered education works, and details some of the parameters connected with parental and local control of education.

It describes the difficulty educational reformers encounter when trying to place any public initiative on the ballot, and the importance of using the legislative process to implement a voucher system. The text describes the opposition to vouchers and how the support of the governor was essential in pushing voucher legislation through the legislature. Some of the key components of that success were: bipartisan support; a grassroots-support campaign organized by parents; the inclusion of vouchers as part of the overall budget rather than as a stand-alone bill; and the compromise in implementing the voucher system in one city rather than in the whole state. One of the unique features of the Cleveland voucher program was its inclusion of religious schools. It allocated $2,250 per student, and students below 200 percent of the poverty line qualified for the full 90 percent subsidy.

  • Principled Spending Using Ohio’S Capital Budget to Benefit Ohioans
    Principled Spending Using Ohio’s Capital Budget to Benefit Ohioans February 5, 2018 By Greg R. Lawson and Quinn Beeson 88 East Broad Street, Suite 1120 • Columbus, Ohio 43215 • (614) 224-4422 • BuckeyeInstitute.org THE BUCKEYE INSTITUTE Table of Contents Introduction 3 Principles for Responsible Government Spending 5 Constrain the Growth of State Government Eliminate Corporate and Special Interest Welfare Focus Spending on the Core Functions of State Government Putting the Spending Principles into Practice: What Should be in the 2018 Capital Budget 9 Strengthening Ohio’s Physical Infrastructure Strengthening Ohio’s Democratic Infrastructure Conclusion 11 About the Authors 12 - 2 - THE BUCKEYE INSTITUTE Introduction Every two years, Ohio policymakers unveil a new capital budget. Among the appropriations and funding for the upkeep and construction of the state’s infrastructure – whether it be roads and bridges, or state government buildings and schools – millions of dollars are also set aside for pet local projects and pork spending that Ohio taxpayers should not be forced to fund. Unfortunately, historically Ohio policymakers have not always done a great job of limiting and eliminating pork spending. The 2016 capital budget included millions of dollars in spending that falls well outside needed infrastructure.1 For example: • $80,000 for the Bowling Green Curling Club; • $200,000 for the New Madcap Puppet Theater; • $250,000 for the Triumph of Flight statue; • $1.5 million for the Toledo Museum of Art’s Polishing the Gem Project; and • $600,000 for Chagrin Falls Center of Community Arts. As the 2018 capital budget process begins, special interests and communities are once again looking to state taxpayers to fund their pork projects.

Balancing the public’s health and safety against the economic needs of struggling small businesses while maintaining a sustainable long-term budget that does not hinder growth will be no small feat. This edition of The Buckeye Institute’s Piglet Book recommends how to accomplish this difficult task by adhering to fundamental economic principles, re-prioritizing spending, curbing spending growth rates, and trimming government waste. These strategies are especially critical to this biennial budget process as policymakers resist the temptation to turn one-time pandemic- recovery spending into ongoing, unsustainable spending obligations, even as federal relief funds pour in from Washington and make the state ledger harder to read. If followed, our recommendations could cut Governor Mike DeWine’s proposed budget by more than $600 million.1 Here’s how: • Prioritize government spending.

  • Urban Sprawl and Quality Growth in Ohio
    Urban Sprawl and Quality Growth in Ohio 4100 N. High Street Suite 200 Columbus, Ohio 43214 (614) 262-1593 www.buckeyeinstitute.org December 2001 Urban Sprawl and Quality Growth in Ohio Executive Summary Urban sprawl has surged to the forefront of local policy debate in Ohio. Concerns about the loss of open space, farm productivity, traffic congestion, and rising public-service costs have led many to demand more government control over land development. On the state level, concern about sprawl has led to large-scale government funding for open space protection and environmental clean-up as well as new planning mandates to protect agriculture. On the local level, more communities are adopt- ing restrictive growth control policies to slow the pace of development. Little data or objective analysis, however, has been applied to the issue of land use and urban development in Ohio. Most media and growth-control advocates rely on slogans and faulty intuition to support calls for more comprehensive planning on the local and regional level. For example, many define urban sprawl as the uncoordinated or unplanned development, yet virtually all new housing and commercial development is subject to extensive public hearings and development approval procedures on the local or county levels. This study provides a rational analysis of economic, demographic, and land-use trends in Ohio and their relationship to key concerns all Ohioans have about the pace and pattern of land develop- ment in Ohio. Among the study’s key findings are the following: Land and Urban Development in Ohio • After two centuries of urban development, the vast majority of Ohio remains rural — less than 14 percent of the state’s total surface land area is developed (including rural highways and roads), and only about two-thirds of that developed land is urbanized.

Outdated regulations, unclear rules, and short-sighted tax schemes threaten many of the potential gains that new technologies offer. Fortunately, Ohio has already begun improving its regulatory code and state policymakers should build upon policy reforms designed to promote economic growth and encourage entrepreneurship and innovation.
