A new study from the Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions finds that Ohio's largest urban schools districts are not as negatively affected financially by public charter schools as some charter opponents claim. Two researchers examined the financial impact of public charter schools on the finances of nearby public schools and found that the state's largest urban school systems received a net gain in revenue, on average, for each student choosing to attend a public charter school. While pupils do take a portion of state funding with them to public charters charter, they leave behind all property tax revenue, resulting in per pupil revenues increasing at the public school, said Matthew Carr, the institute's education policy director and co-author of the report.
