Akron Public Schools CFO Ryan Pendleton will talk about the Cupp-Patterson Fair School Funding Plan for Ohio at 6 p.m. tonight (Tuesday) at the Akron-Summit Main Library.
In 1997, the Ohio Supreme Court issued an opinion holding that Ohio’s school funding system is unconstitutional and ordered a “complete, systematic overhaul” of the system.
Reps. Bob Cupp, R-Lima, and John Patterson, D-Jefferson, met with a group of school officials, including Pendleton and Assistant Superintendent Ellen McWilliams-Woods, Ph.D. for more than a year to come up with an overhaul of the funding formula.
This event is open to the public, and the library is at 60 S. High St.
