We need to operate the schools more like a business.”—John Kasich at the 2nd Gubernatorial Debate, October 7, 2010

“Kasich believes that we need to consolidate schools in Ohio and share services to reduce duplication of effort and to lower costs.”—Ohio School Boards Association, The Link Vol. 20, Issue 10, October 2010

"John Kasich would consolidate school districts to save money."—Carl Weiser, Cincinnati Enquirer Politics Editor, 9/20/2010
