Changes To The School Funding Formula Following The End Of The Derolph Litigation

"DeRolph v. State, originally filed in 1991, challenged the constitutionality of Ohio's school funding system. The Ohio Supreme Court issued four decisions in the case between 1997 and 2002, holding that the system that was the subject of the original lawsuit, and the versions of the system enacted by the General Assembly in response to the Court's orders in those decisions, were unconstitutional. These decisions and the General Assembly’s responses to them are summarized in the Members Brief entitled “DeRolph v. State School Funding Case.”--page 1.
