Arizona Supreme Court on vouchers

More bad news on the school choice front. The Supreme Court of Arizona has held two state voucher programs unconstitutional under the state Constitution. Here. The programs involved scholarships for students with disabilities and scholarships for students in foster care. The Court found that both programs violated the Aid Clause of the state Constitution; that provision states that "[n]o tax shall be laid or appropriation of public money made in aid of any church, or private or sectarian school, or any public service corporation."
