❌ SB168
Regards school district acquisition of preschool class facilities
Summary
The bill establishes guidelines for school district boards of education to acquire classroom facilities for preschool programs and provides funding assistance from the Ohio facilities construction commission upon receipt of a written proposal from the district board. The proposal must detail the total funding requested and other pledged funding, and the commission will enter into an agreement with the district board regarding ownership of the facilities if the preschool program closes.
Rationale
The bill increases government involvement in education and funding for preschool programs, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and the belief that education should be provided by the free market. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for limited government roles in personal and economic matters, which this bill contradicts.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over education
- Potential for misuse of public funds
- Encouragement of dependency on government funding
