The Ohio Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, has sued the state over its charter school program, claiming it lacks proper oversight and takes money from traditional public schools. The lawsuit, filed in Franklin County Common Pleas Court on March 23, was brought on behalf of Dayton public schools and the union's Dayton unit. The Ohio Department of Education, the State Board of Education and Susan Zelman, the state superintendent of public instruction, are listed as defendants. The suit alleges that the state has not properly monitored the performance of charter schools to comply with state law, and that, since 2000, Dayton has lost $189 million in state funding due to charters. The latest suit comes on the heels of a Ohio Supreme Court decision in October that ruled charter schools were constitutional.
