Enrollment is a crucial factor. The state formula for dispensing funds to districts is based on per-pupil attendance. Since 1977, enrollment in Ohio's urban schools has dropped steadily, reflecting migration from Ohio's urban centers. Cleveland’s school system shrank from 113,000 to 53,000. Youngstown is down from 19,000 to fewer than 8,000. Enrollment in Akron is under 26,000, from 47,000. Legislation that expanded school options quickened the decline. With each student who opts for a voucher to attend a private school, open enrollment in a neighboring district, or a charter school, the state transfers tuition costs from the funds that would have gone to the home district.
