Ohio: funding helps avoid increase in teacher licensing fees
Date postedAugust 28, 2024
The Ohio State Board of Education received over $4 million in emergency funding to avoid increasing teacher licensure fees. The funding was crucial after the board, which had faced significant financial shortfalls due to a restructuring that transferred most of its responsibilities to the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, saw its budget slashed. Board members had warned of potential deficits, which could have led to cuts in services like background checks and increased fees for teachers. This funding will temporarily alleviate the financial pressure while officials work on a longer-term solution for the board’s financial stability.
