COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio state Rep. Andrew Brenner has some very good ideas about how to improve education in the Buckeye State.

Perhaps his best idea would give Ohio drivers the option to purchase a special license plate at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles that would send a portion of the proceeds to School Choice Ohio, a nonprofit that advocates for private and charter schools, Ohio.com reports.

“It’s advertising like any other cause we put on our license plates,” Brenner told the news site. “I actually have a slew of education bills I’d like to introduce.”

Several seem like very positive ways to reform the state’s public education system.

According to Ohio.com, the bills include:

“A ‘parent trigger’ bill that would give parents the right to oust school board members, public school officials and teachers of ‘failing’ schools, or convert those schools into charter schools.

“H.B. 228, an education funding reform bill that eliminates guaranteed dollars for many urban and shrinking schools while increasing funding for many rural, growing schools, including those in Brenner’s district.

“H.B. 158, a tax incentive program that would allocate $20 million in state revenues to fund tax write-offs for businesses that donate up to $300,000 to private schools.”

Brenner is also pushing to establish “School Choice Week” in Ohio, to highlight non-government school options, the news site reports.

Predictably, defenders of the state’s public school system don’t care for the lawmaker’s ideas.

“All of these provisions are attempts to remove the public from the governance of education and the control of the public purse,” according to William Phillis, executive director of the Ohio Coalition of Equity and Adequacy in School Funding.

School Choice Ohio, of course, is supportive of the lawmaker’s efforts to improve education for the state’s students.

“We certainly appreciate Rep. Brenner in all that he had done in support of school choice as well as support for our mission to educate parents on their choices for education in Ohio,” School Choice Ohio Legislative Director Jason Warner told Ohio.com.

It seems clear Brenner understands the problems facing education in Ohio and elsewhere, and is working to help educate parents about all of the educational options in the Buckeye state.

His ideas seem to have the potential to not only empower parents with information, but also to create lasting change that would undoubtedly put parents and taxpayers back in charge of a state education system that for too long has been controlled by self-interested public school bureaucrats and greedy teachers union bosses.
