Differences emerging over new education plan in Ohio
As the state Legislature moves to bolster the requirements students need to get into college, major differences are emerging over the plans cost and whether the state is creating a two-tiered system that labels students as college material or blue-collar bound.
Republicans, who control the House and Senate, also want to pass the plan before Republican Gov. Bob Taft leaves office in January despite Gov.-elect Ted Stricklands request that they not move on any major legislation until he takes office.
Im fearful that if we wait, that if it gets bogged down, that people that might not want this public policy - for various reasons that are in their self-interest and not in the best interests of students - will attempt to weaken it or derail it, House speaker Jon Husted said.
