Ohio Appeals Court Rules $776M Voucher Program Unconstitutional

• An Ohio appeals court upheld a lower court's decision to declare the state's EdChoice voucher program unconstitutional on Oct. 15.
• The EdChoice voucher program provides parents with taxpayer-funded vouchers to send their children to private schools.
• The court found the program unconstitutional due to a contradiction in allowing private schools to cherry-pick which children they accept while receiving public funds.
• The ruling affects $776 million in vouchers.
• The Tenth District Court of Appeals upheld a June 2025 lower-court decision on the matter.
