Ohio recently expanded its "EdChoice" scholarship program to be near-universal, allowing families of almost any income level to use taxpayer money to pay for private school tuition. This massive shift has sparked a coalition of over 100 school districts to sue the state, arguing the voucher system is unconstitutional and siphons critical funding away from the public schools that educate the vast majority of Ohio children. Proponents, often referring to this as the "Backpack Bill" concept, argue that funding should follow the child and that parents have the ultimate right to choose the best educational environment for their kids. Opponents view it as a scheme to dismantle public education and force taxpayers to fund private religious indoctrination.

Yes, provided the school has no religious affiliation.

Yes but only for low income students
Only if it is for a specialist school for disabled children and the child is unable to learn in a public special education setting.
