About 50 people attended an information session on May 19 at Holy Name High School in Parma Heights to hear State Sen. Matthew Huffman, a Republican from Lima, explain Senate Bill 85, which would create the Ohio Opportunity Scholarship program.
Huffman encouraged people to discuss and support the bill, which could take effect with the 2018-2019 school year, if approved by June 30. If that does not happen, he said work will continue on the legislation. A similar proposal, House Bill 200, is pending in the Ohio House of Representatives.
?Things happen because people do things,? Huffman said.
If approved, the legislation would provide low- and middle-income families the opportunity to choose a school other than the public school
