The bill S.B. No. 2025-2026, introduced by Senator Huffman, aims to establish a new section, 3317.251, in the Revised Code of Ohio, which focuses on providing disadvantaged pupil impact aid to chartered nonpublic schools participating in state scholarship programs. The Department of Education and Workforce is tasked with creating a program that allows these schools to apply for funding based on the number of economically disadvantaged scholarship students they enroll. The aid amount is calculated by multiplying $422 by the economically disadvantaged index of the student's resident district for each eligible student.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific initiatives for which the participating schools must utilize the funds, including reading improvement programs, professional development for teachers, mental and physical health services, and school safety measures. Schools are required to report on their spending and the initiatives funded by the aid, with the Department of Education submitting a summary report to the General Assembly every odd-numbered year. The bill also includes an appropriation of $40 million from the General Revenue Fund for the fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to support this initiative.
