Public School Funding

DeRolph v. Ohio Department of Educ.

You and your new partner will be researching the historic DeRolph Case for Ohio. You will do the following:
1. Explain the background of the case. Why was it started, what prompted the publicity it received, how long did it take before it made it to the Supreme Court of Ohio.
2. What was the decision? How did it impact the Public School systems in Ohio?
3. How many times was it appealed, reaffirmed, and or reversed? What was the reasoning behind these decisions? How has the State of Ohio responded to these decisions?
4. How has the funding system in Ohio changed as a result of these decisions? If it has not changed, what are the reasons given for this?

You and your partner will choose 2 of the 4 to research- in other words, one partner will do two, while the other partner does the other two. Record your responses on a separate sheet of paper.
