These are Census Bureau figures rather than the department’s, which is the point of holding them: Ohio replaced its funding regime twice inside this decade and renamed most of its own categories doing it, so a series from Ohio’s own reporting would measure the reporting. inference

The appropriating act set the department’s own budget at $11.17 billion in FY2018 and $11.32 billion in FY2019. That is what was appropriated to the Department of Education across every line in its chapter, less the property tax reimbursement items that are numbered as the department’s and are carried in the State Revenue Distributions section instead. verified the appropriation series, lsc-appropriation-spreadsheet It is a ceiling rather than a payment; what districts received is dew-foundation.

The Am. Sub. designation is not confirmed and may not belong here. The Catalog cites this act on 165 line items and prints it bare — H.B. 49 of the 132nd G.A. — every time. That is not evidence the designation is wrong: LSC uses Am. Sub. for the 129th through 131st General Assemblies and drops it from the 132nd onward, across H.B. 49, H.B. 166, H.B. 110 and H.B. 33 alike, which reads as a change of house style rather than a fact about four bills. Recorded as unresolved rather than corrected in either direction. open

Correction 1 of 1

It said

“The state’s share of closing it is unchanged from FY2012.”

It says

It barely moves rather than being unchanged: 42.5% in FY2012 against 44.3% in FY2019, inside the 41-46% band it has held since.

Settled by

Computing state_closes / gap from dispersion::ohio_panel::equalization_by_year while auditing #128.

What else it touched

The point the sentence makes is strengthened rather than weakened. The share holds roughly flat while the gap itself grows from $5,727 to $8,444 per pupil, so the state pays more dollars into a disparity that widens anyway.
