Research and writing by Susan Batte Before the Court could even reach this controversy, however, it first had to decide cases that arose as a result of the public right to educate all children colliding with a parent's private right to educate his child as he deemed appropriate Pierce v. Society of Sisters This collision occurred because most states had adopted compulsory attendance laws by the early part of the 20th Century. These laws required all children to attend state approved schools. In real terms, this meant that children could only attend public schools or schools approved by the local school board. If a child was attending a private or non-public school, his parents would be in violation of this law and subject to penalty. The court in Pierce v. Society of Sisters

25. Parochial School Aid Supreme Court Ruling on Chapter 2 Aid to parochial schools Using Chapter 2funds, a louisiana public school district furnished local private schools, http://www.dese.state.mo.us/schoollaw/freqaskques/PSA.htm

Home School Laws School Law Topics Supreme Court Ruling on Chapter 2 Aid to Parochial Schools Mitchell v. Helms , 120 S.Ct. 2530 (2000) The United States Supreme Court, in a 6-3 vote, held that Chapter 2 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 does not violate the Establishment Clause. Chapter 2 allows local public schools to loan classroom materials to private and parochial schools. Using Chapter 2 funds, a Louisiana public school district furnished local private schools, a majority of which are parochial, with computers, computer software and library books. Plaintiffs sued on the grounds that this diversion of federal funds to parochial schools violates the Establishment Clause, which forbids the government from making any law respecting the establishment of religion. Using Agostini v. Felton , 521 U.S. 203 (1997) as it’s guide, the Court determined that the parochial school’s Chapter 2 program did not have the effect of advancing religion. First, the Court determined that the program has a secular purpose. The aid allocated in the form of computers, software and books is accomplished on the basis of neutral, secular criteria that neither favors nor disfavors religion.

Topic: August 18 EDUCATION (K-12) Background Biographies Cecil Picard , Board of Elementary and Secondary Education President Glenny Lee Buquet and BESE member Mary Washington Louisiana Public Square BACKGROUND Overview A number of groups outside Louisiana agree: The American Society of Civil Engineers rated the state as one of the ten worst states in terms of school buildings in need of repair. th The National Education Association ranked Louisiana 6 th worst in the nation for having the lowest salaries for public school teachers. (This is in spite of a 38% rise in average Louisiana teacher pay from 1996-97 to 2001-02.) SOCIAL ISSUES Stephanie Desselle Council for A Better Louisiana STUDENT AND SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY At the core of the accountability program is high-stakes testing, which consists of exams aligned with content standards created for each subject. Such testing, while providing needed data for gauging performance, puts heightened stress on both the students and the teachers. Barbara DeCuir High School Teacher The LEAP 21 tests measure 4 th and 8 th th graders and one-third of the 8 th graders pass the test after attending summer school.

30. SUPREME COURT TO REVISIT PUBLIC AID TO RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS In louisiana, Jefferson Parish taxpayers sued government officials in 1985, though, monthly special Critics of government aid to parochial and other http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/vouch6a.htm

FLASH LINE HOME VISITORS WHAT'S NEW ... WELCOME FLASHLINE SUPREME COURT TO REVISIT PUBLIC AID TO RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS Web Posted: June 15, 1999 he nation's highest court decided Monday that it will examine whether public funds may be used to purchase instructional materials, computer and other items for use in religious, sectarian schools. The justices agreed to review a 14-year old dispute from Louisiana which many legal observers say is at the heart of the question over public aid to parochial and other faith-based schools. The Clinton administration applauded the court's announcement, and hopes that part of an $15 billion educational bill, including the spending of nearly $800 million on computer and related technology programs, will reach religious schools. According to the U.S. department of Education, in the 1997-98 school year more than $12 million in government funds was used for instructional and related materials in private and sectarian schools in 34 states. At issue is the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which gives public schools money for special types of instructional materials. Public school districts are required to share any equipment a "secular, neutral and nonideological way" with private and sectarian schools in the district. In Louisiana, Jefferson Parish taxpayers sued government officials in 1985, though, saying that the program violated the First Amendment's establish clause ban on aid to religion. A federal judge upheld the aid program in 1997, but last August the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the ruling.

31. Pertinent Cases: Government Aid To Religious Schools louisiana STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION (1930) Justices upheld a louisiana law that of children attending parochial schools for transportation costs. http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/vouch6b.htm

FLASH LINE HOME VISITORS WHAT'S NEW ... WELCOME FLASHLINE Pertinent Cases: Government Aid To Religious Schools Web Posted: June 15, 1999 he U.S.Supreme Court has decided to once again examine the issue of public aid to religious schools. Below is a list and summary of some of the major cases taken up by the high court. Many of these decisions were made in close votes, sometimes 5-4. You will also note that the justices looked carefully at the unique circumstances of each case; and their judgments obviously reflect the changing political coloration of the court. Indeed, there emerges a distinct trend where the court has become more accommodating of religion and religious institutions, and justifying some forms of government aid when the direct benefit is said to accrue to students rather than the faith-based institution operating the school. COCHRAN v. LOUISIANA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION (1930) Justices upheld a Louisiana law that provided for the use of state funds to purchase textbooks for religious and public schools. Writing for the majority, Justice Charles Evans Hughes argued that the intent of the program was to benefit individual school children rather than religion or religious schools. "The school children and the state alone are the beneficiaries." By this argument, no clear benefit accrued to the religious institutions involved. EVERSON v. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF EWING TOWNSHIP (1947)

Does a wall separating church and state cocoon Catholic school communities from receiving any public policy benefits? Certainly not! A long history of landmark Supreme Court decisions affirms that Constitutional benefits are available. Pierce v. Society of Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary Struck down an Oregon compulsory education statute which prohibited fulfilling the state's compulsory education act at a private or parochial school. Cochran v. Louisiana State Board of Education Upheld a Louisiana statute that authorized the purchasing and supplying of nonsectarian textbooks by the state to parochial school pupils. Everson v. Board of Education of Ewing Township Upheld a New Jersey program which provided, with tax-raised funds, bus transportation services to and from school to parochial school students.

Some questions for voucher supporters Supreme Court decision changes the political landscape The term “vouchers” as used in this paper refers to methods used to funnel public education funds to private and/or parochial schools. It was a concept first propounded by economist Milton Friedman in the early 1960s when he was Barry Goldwater’s economics advisor. At least since 1968, it has been the goal of the Louisiana Catholic Conference to enact legislation in this state that would provide state support for tuition at parochial schools. Until this year, public education advocates assumed that vouchers could not become a serious threat because of the Constitution’s First Amendment clause prohibiting the government “establishment” of religion. In June of 2002, however, that wall was breached when the United States Supreme Court ruled that voucher programs in Ohio do not violate the establishment clause of the Constitution.
