At issue is the Cleveland school voucher program. Under it, the state of Ohio gives money to poor families who want to take their children out of troubled public schools and send them to private schools. But, in Cleveland, almost all the nonpublic schools are religious. Does that mean the state is unconstitutionally entangled with religion? Phil Jones reports.

Opinion Editorial: Voucher victory / The court unwisely upholds an Ohio plan Sunday, June 30, 2002 In upholding an Ohio law that uses state funds to allow parents in Cleveland to pay for tuition at parochial schools, the U.S. Supreme Court last week gave its blessing to a program that, in effect if not in intent, provides a significant subsidy to Catholic education. For that reason, in our view, the 5-4 decision tilts too much in the direction of the "establishment of religion" prohibited by the First Amendment. That is true even though Catholic and other religious schools undeniably provide a service to the larger society by ably educating their pupils in secular subjects. Granted, the "wall of separation" between church and state in the educational area has always been a porous one the high court has allowed state governments to provide parochial-school students with secular textbooks, transportation and even tuition tax credits.
Extractions: The waiting line to hear oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court formed the night before February 20. Anyone joining after 5 A.M. never got inexcept those given special seating, including such notables as Senator Edward Kennedy, Health and Human Services secretary Tommy Thompson, and former White House counsel C. Boyden Gray. It was well worth the wait. Persistent questioning, passionate debate, direct self-contradictions, an electric atmosphereall were there. As the 80-minute conversation came to an end, a pro-voucher resolution seemed to have just barely emerged, the outcome turning as much on educational facts as constitutional questions. The Court seemed as much a national school board as an interpreter of the Constitutions Establishment Clause. Questions seldom focused on past jurisprudenceprobably because earlier decisions have constructed a wall of separation between church and state as serpentine as the one Thomas Jefferson designed for the University of Virginias campus. Instead, the days focus was on vouchers, charter schools, and the woeful state of public education in Cleveland. The justices seemed to realize that they were discussing the future of low-income, inner-city children, not just fine points of legal doctrine. It was Justice David Souter who first posed the central question to Ohio assistant attorney general Judith French: Isnt it true that something like 99 percent of the students who were receiving these vouchers are in religious schools? Such restricted choice was very different from the choice from [among] the great universe of colleges and universities, where federal aid to religious institutions has been generally regarded as constitutional.
Extractions: Legal experts are already drawing analogies between Zelman v. Simmons-Harris and landmark rulings like Brown v. Board of Education and the seminal First Amendment decisions that have shaped American jurisprudence over the past half century. How the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of Clevelands school-voucher program will not only define the legal boundary between church and state more clearly; it could also help redefine the meaning of public education and expand the range of opportunities available to poor children. In December 2000, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit affirmed Judge Olivers ruling by a 21 vote. The appeals court relied heavily on legal precedents set down by the Supreme Court in 1973 in Committee for Public Education v. Nyquist . At issue in Nyquist was a New York State program that gave low-income parents a partial tuition reimbursement for private-school tuition. The Nyquist Court found that the tuition-grant program had the impermissible effect of advancing religion. It concluded that direct or indirect aid to sectarian schools is essentially a government-subsidized incentive to practice religion. The thinking in Nyquist was remarkable on several counts. Inherent in the incentive concept is the assumption that parochial schools are so superior to public schools that the opportunity to attend the former is irresistible, even to those parents who do not want their children educated in a religious environment. Reasonable people can conclude that the lure of a safe and sound education is an argument for choice rather than against it. Preoccupied with the religious character of parochial schools, the majority also presumed that the court is capable of looking into the minds of legislators to determine their motivations. Using effect to derive intent, the court concluded that incidental aid to religious institutions in the form of tuition relief to parents is tantamount to a purposeful government act to promote religion.
In The News: Ruling Voids Use Of Vouchers In Ohio Schools Excerpts from RULING VOIDS USE OF VOUCHERS IN ohio schools By Jodi Wilgoren Helms, which upheld the purchase of computers for parochial schools . http://edreform.com/news/001212nyt.htm
Extractions: New York Times , December 12, 2000 A federal appeals court declared a Cleveland school voucher program unconstitutional yesterday, upholding a lower court ruling that the use of public money to send thousands of children to parochial schools breaches the First Amendment's separation of church and state. The 2-to-1 decision, which included a vitriolic exchange among the judges, sets the stage for a United States Supreme Court showdown on one of the most contentious issues in education politics today. It comes a month after voters in Michigan and California roundly rejected school voucher programs in ballot initiatives and is the most significant legal decision yet on the question. "We certainly hope everyone will get the message," said Robert H. Chanin, general counsel for the National Education Association, the nation's largest teacher's union, who argued the case for a group of parents and teachers challenging the vouchers. "The message is, let's focus on improving the public schools and stop playing around with vouchers as a panacea." In the ruling, Judge Eric L. Clay of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit said the Cleveland program did not present parents with a real set of options, because few nonreligious private schools and no suburban public schools had opened their doors. In 1999-2000, 96 percent of the 3,761 voucher students attended sectarian schools, receiving up to $2,500 each to offset tuition....

Extractions: The number one concern for the average citizen of the U.S. isnt crime or the economy its education. As you may well know, there is much controversy over what needs to be done to improve the quality of education in the Cleveland Public School System, and to a lesser extent, the Cleveland suburban school districts. The best thing we can do to provide the necessary education to prepare our children for the future is to guarantee choice, namely choice in the form of school vouchers and pilot programs like the Hope Academies. In the city of Cleveland, there is a phenomenon of parents taking choice of schools into their own hands. Many families retain residence in the city of Cleveland during their sons and daughters childhood while sending them to Clevelands many parochial schools. When their children reach the eighth grade, the families then move to suburbs with highly rated public schools like Rocky River, Fairview, and Lakewood. If people had options like school vouchers, they wouldnt be forced to move to ensure that their children gained adequate instruction, and the city of Cleveland wouldnt be hurt by "educational exoduses." School vouchers allow lower-income parents to have a choice about where their children attend school who otherwise couldnt afford to send their children to private or parochial schools or who couldnt afford to move to the suburbs. Choice, or pluralism in higher education, is what has given America the worlds best collegiate system, and choice, implemented via vouchers, can hopefully bring our primary and secondary schools up to par. There are many pilot programs involving vouchers now, and two such experimental programs are the Hope Academies.

TestingII In ohio, more than 220000 children attend nonpublic schools, compared to over 1.7 million When parents entrust a child to private or parochial schools, http://www.clevelandakronfamily.com/TestingII.htm
Extractions: The Testing Grounds by Jill Miller Zimon The following article, Part II in a three-part series, examines how non-public educational settings define accountability. Do they embrace the concept at all, and if so, how? If not, why not and what do they value instead? Last months article explored how standards, curriculum and tests fit into Ohios public school system. Next month will focus on how teachers, students and parents feel about Ohios steps intended to improve public school education. Across the United States, millions of kids go to public school, but millions of other kids dont. In Ohio, more than 220,000 children attend nonpublic schools, compared to over 1.7 million in public schools. When parents entrust a child to private or parochial schools, or to themselves for home education, how do they gauge what their kids should be learning and whether theyre learning it? Do some parents and kids outmaneuver the assessment wave thats washing over our public schools, or is it a necessary component for imparting knowledge to future generations? Private Schools According to Karin ONeil, executive director of the Ohio Independent Schools Association, most of Ohios independent private schools use the states academic

Extractions: Cleveland Jewish News Cleveland's pilot voucher program granting parents tax-funded vouchers to send their children to private or parochial schools is unconstitutional, the Ohio's 10th District Court of Appeals has ruled. The vouchers violate the separation of church and state clauses in the Ohio and U.S. Constitutions, ruled Judge John Young, joined by Judges Dana Deshler and Peggy Bryant. While supporters of public education, teachers unions and civil-liberties advocates have welcomed the decision, Jewish organizations locally and nationally have mixed reactions to the court's decision. Started last fall, Cleveland's pilot program grants tuition vouchers of up to $2,250 each to 1,994 poor Cleveland children who attend kindergarten through third grade. The vouchers, redeemable at the private or parochial school of the student's choice, have transplanted $5.5 million from Cleveland's 70,000-student public-school system to private and parochial schools. Children now in the program will continue through the end of the school year. But the program's future is uncertain, even though the biennial budget for Ohio includes funding to expand the program next year to include 3,000 children in kindergarten through fourth grade.

Powers, Planning, Inventory, and Registration Department Head, Ohio Historic Preservation Office Many Ohio communities treasure their historic school buildings as centers for neighborhood or community activity, symbols of civic pride, and often as local architectural landmarks. At the same time, communities face the challenge of ensuring that older school buildings meet the needs of todays students and teachers. Meeting the challenge requires good planning, knowledge of preservation tools, and, at times, creative design solutions.
