The Ohio 8, a coalition of superintendents and teachers union presidents from the state's largest districts, has been busy lobbying legislators to support Gov. Ted Strickland's proposal to ban for-profit charter schools. "We strongly support his position that for-profit entities not operate in our state," said Cleveland schools CEO Eugene Sanders and co-chair of the Ohio 8. "We think those funds can more appropriately be used in a public school context." In addition to banning for-profits, Strickland has proposed a moratorium on all new charter schools. House Speaker Jon Husted has indicated that the Republican leadership will support the Democratic governor's budget numbers for public school funding, but remains in sharp disagreement over the proposed charter school legislation.
