Ohio judge puts massive GOP-backed education overhaul on hold
Fox News
Franklin County Judge Karen Held Phipps on Thursday ordered a Republican-backed overhaul of Ohio's K-12 education system be placed on hold until October.
The lawsuit says the overhaul, which would significantly shift oversight and decision-making powers in issues like academic standards and school curriculum away from the board and to the governor, violates the constitution.
Franklin County Judge Karen Held Phipps' order will hold until Oct. 2, when the law creating the overhaul was set to go into effect. A hearing is scheduled that day to decide whether the law will be blocked indefinitely while the case continues through the courts.
