"Let
me tell you a little secret I have learned ---- Ohio's school
funding is unconstitutional and needs to be changed."
-Abby Tanner, Brookpark Middle School. "Without question, the State has cut school funding. If not, then why does my school have to cut staff members by 107 full time positions? (These would include 58 teachers, 35 support staff, and 14 administrative staff.) " -Kristin Hall, Lancaster High School
