Message from the Head of School — EdChoice Ruling
On October 15, 2026, the Tenth District Court of Appeals in Ohio ruled that the Ohio EdChoice scholarship program is unconstitutional (Court Decision, Dayton Daily News Article). However, the court also stayed their own ruling, ensuring that current EdChoice scholarships remain in place while the decision is appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court (Ohio Attorney General Statement). So, the October 15 ruling will not affect EdChoice scholarships for students at Legacy this academic year. In addition, the Ohio Christian Education Network "fully anticipate[s] that the [Ohio Supreme] Court will reverse this decision and uphold the constitutionality of EdChoice" (T. McIntosh, email communication, Oct 15, 2026).
Election Day is November 3rd. Your vote matters in this upcoming election. Please read this Voting Guide from the Center for Christian Virtue that includes candidate positions for U.S. Senate and Ohio governor on the question, "Do you support or oppose making all Ohio students eligible for taxpayer-funded scholarships to attend the K-12 school of their family's choice?" In addition to the key races for Senate and Governor, there are Ohio Supreme Court justice candidates on the November ballot who will likely decide the EdChoice appeal described above, and Ohio will also be selecting a new Attorney General who will have great influence in the appeal process. Please educate yourself on candidate positions and issues, advocate in your community and circles of influence, pray, and VOTE! Let's work together to do everything we can to ensure that the benefit of EdChoice scholarships continues for Christian families seeking Christian education here at Legacy and throughout Ohio in years to come.
Equipping Leaders for Christ,
Dr. Nickerson
