Kasich pushing education for profit at the cost of public education
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- While suburban districts like Solon and Rocky River are wailing over proposed cuts in their state funding, supporters of "school choice" are pleased with Gov. John Kasich's budget -- and hopeful that they'll get even more of what they want down the road.

Kasich plans to use state money to:

• Raise the maximum number of EdChoice vouchers for private-school tuition from the current 14,000 to 60,000 within two years.

• Allow more independently operated charter schools to join the 339 that are authorized now.
