    The Committee intends to examine Ohio's school funding formula and 
its impact on access to education on the basis of color, race, sex, 
religion, national origin, and/or disability status. The Committee will 
examine (a) the extent to which the state's school funding formula may 
contribute to a disparate impact on educational access and outcomes on 
the basis of these federally protected categories, (b) if the policies 
and practices are reasonably necessary to the education success of the 
students or other aspects of the education system, and (c) alternative 
policies and practices with the demonstrated potential to address such 
concerns. The Committee will hear testimony from community members, 
advocates, academics, public and private school administrators, and 
government officials.
    Records generated from this meeting may be inspected and reproduced
