At one point, a man turned around and yelled "you're not going to change our minds, so don't bother. For the school year, about 69, students are expected to use one of the state's five voucher programs.

Ohio will also supply their school buses and a series of reimbursements for administrative and auxiliary costs. At first, only students assigned to schools in "academic emergency" — the state's lowest rating — for three consecutive years could apply for a voucher.
