The Cincinnati Enquirer (8/8, Amos) reports that parents in the Cincinnati area are complaining about rising back-to-school costs, noting that "Classroom supply costs and school fees in Ohio, Kentucky and four surrounding states have climbed by up to 25 percent over last year, the highest jump on record, according to Huntington Bank's annual 'backpack index.'" The "index" is compiled by analyzing the requirements of school districts and the corresponding prices on retail websites. "In general, parents are paying more for a free public education than ever, says Huntington Bank's panel of experts."
