On an ongoing basis, membership in the Coalition guarantees another strong voice in school policy, especially in the area of finance.  Currently, membership is supporting the EdChoice voucher litigation, which has the potential of significantly altering the trajectory of the school choice programs in favor of the public common school

School districts become members of the Coalition by paying dues on a yearly basis.

Coalition membership dues had been $.50 per student from FY1991; however, when the Steering Committee of the Coalition was asked to coordinate the constitutional challenge of the EdChoice voucher program, it was decided that FY2020 district members could make a choice of continuing the regular dues at $.50 per student or pay the $2.00 per student membership for the Vouchers Hurt Ohio litigation. All other districts pay $2.00 per student.

What are the benefits of membership?  

In the past, members helped win four Ohio Supreme Court decisions in the DeRolph school funding case, which moved the state to help school districts construct more than 1200 new school buildings and increase the percentage of the state General Revenue budget for K-12 education from 34.5% in FY1992 to over 40% currently.

Currently, membership is supporting the EdChoice voucher litigation.  McCarthy, Lebit, Crystal & Liffman attorney, Mark I. Wallach and Weston Hurd attorney, Miriam Fair have been retained to represent the Coalition membership in the voucher litigation.  The complaint was filed in Franklin County Court of Common Pleas on January 4, 2022. The case will go on trial November 4, 2024. The Coalition anticipates a favorable court decision against EdChoice vouchers.
