Abstract Details

2009, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
Ohio’s funding system for K-12 public education has been ruled unconstitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court four times within the last eleven years, yet state-level legislators have yet to make significant changes. Instead, the citizens of Ohio have been given a patchwork of solutions which, in an attempt to treat the source of the problem, have only treated the symptoms thereof. This has resulted in a confounding of the issues, a breakdown of communication between politician and constituent, and a still-broken funding system. Using Hamilton County’s public school districts as a microcosm of this situation, this paper will provide quantitative evidence to support the existence of real and perceived barriers to achieving consensus and constitutionality. Analyzing this evidence and using principles of communicative planning theory, it will explain why there is an informational disconnect between policy-makers and their respective constituents as well as how the planning community can constructively contribute.
