The Ohio Constitution, Article VI, Section II of the Ohio state constitution requires funding for a “thorough and efficient” system of common schools.

However, Ohio's educational funding does not meet that standard. It doesn't provide for a thorough and efficient school system as defined over the years. What has happened to cause schools to become underfunded?
