46. AS COURT PREPARES RULING IN CLEVELAND VOUCHER CASE, GOV'T AID TO RELIGIOUS SCHOO SIMMONSHARRIS concerns a program in Cleveland, ohio which allows demand that parochial schools in every state receive some specified part of any funds http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/vouch11.htm

FLASH LINE HOME VISITORS WHAT'S NEW ... WELCOME FLASHLINE AS COURT PREPARES RULING IN CLEVELAND VOUCHER CASE, GOV'T AID TO RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS IS "DONE DEAL" Web Posted: June 22, 2002 ith a ruling expected at any time, the nation's highest court is set to make public its decision in a controversial case involving school vouchers. ZELMAN v. SIMMONS-HARRIS concerns a program in Cleveland, Ohio which allows parents to enroll their children in select private schools and receive reimbursement for anywhere between 75% and 90% of tuition costs. Last year, over 3,700 youngsters attended voucher schools, with 60% coming from families considered at or below the poverty level. A total of 3,632 students went to religious schools about 96%. Of the fifty-six schools participating in the voucher program, 46 (82%) are affiliated with a church or denomination. The Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals noted that parents sign over tuition checks directly to the school and that "Program monies may be used by the participating schools for whatever purpose they deem appropriate; the voucher program does not place restrictions on the use of funds made available under the program..." In addition, noted the court, "The sectarian schools vary in their religious affiliation and approaches; however, the handbooks and mission statements of these schools reflect that most believe in interweaving religious beliefs with secular subjects. The sectarian schools also follow religious guidelines, including instruction in religion and mandated participation in religious services; interweaving of Christian doctrine with science and language arts classes; requiring that 'all learning take place in an atmosphere of religious ideals' ... and designing educational scholarship in order 'to make ... faith become living, conscious and active through the light of instruction ... religious truths and values permeate the whole atmosphere our the school.'

Cleveland Case Poses New Test for Vouchers Also see why vouchers are failing in Cleveland! February 10, 2002, New York Times By JACQUES STEINBERG CLEVELAND, Feb. 7 — The other afternoon at St. Rocco School on this city's gritty west side, the first graders in one classroom were reading aloud from a book about the four food groups while the fifth graders down the hall were rattling off the economic attractions of various American cities. That they did so under the portraits of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, on a day in which all of them would be required to pray at Mass, was not unusual for a Roman Catholic school in the United States. But what distinguishes St. Rocco from Catholic schools in other parts of the country is that the State of Ohio is paying the bulk of the tuition for half of the school's 200 pupils, who are the recipients of vouchers designed to help them and several thousand other children in Cleveland flee failing public schools. The question of whether such an arrangement amounts to outright government aid to parochial schools and thus violates the Constitution's separation of church and state will be taken up by the United States Supreme Court this month. The justices are scheduled to hear oral arguments on Feb. 20 on the legality of the state's six-year-old tuition voucher program, which is open only to parents in Cleveland, where barely a third of public school students graduate from high school. A complicating factor that the justices may well consider is this: Many of the pupils who receive the tuition assistance were already attending parochial or other private schools, raising questions about whether the program is ending up assisting parents who had already found the ways and means to educate their children outside the public schools.

Puffing Exorcism The Voucher Circus by Andrew Walsh Tracking the school voucher movement has become dauntingly complex. Last year alone, proposals to use government vouchers to support private education were entertained in at least 21 state legislatures, and there were high-profile referendums in Michigan and California, major federal appeals court decisions in Ohio and Florida, and a significant U.S. Supreme Court ruling. And although vouchers were overwhelmingly rejected in the state referendums and rebuffed in the federal appeals court decisions, the push continues. Time noted on December 25 that 2000 closed with "a rough few weeks for supporters of school vouchers," but said that "the unusual pro-voucher coalition of inner-city parents, Catholic clerics and deep-pocketed entrepreneurs vows to fight on." Perhaps most importantly, the U.S. Supreme Court may too be moving toward permitting vouchers, even for openly religious private schools.

What’s Inside Charter schools’ impact unclear Open enrollment flourishing Home schooling works for some Vouchers still controversial School Choice Vol. 1, No. 1, May 1999 Education Commission of the States • 707 17 th Street, Suite 2700 • Denver, CO 80202-3427 • 303-299-3600 • fax 303-296-8332 • www.ecs.org The school-choice movement is changing the landscape of public education School choice is one of the fastest-growing innovations in public education. Today, nearly one in 10 American public-school students participates in some form of choice, ranging from charter schools to vouchers to open-enrollment programs that allow youngsters to attend any public school within or, in some cases, outside their district. Proponents of school choice contend that such programs will bring about change and improvement by forcing public schools to compete for students, and will expand and diversify the range of learning opportunities, experiences and environments available to students. Critics of school choice, on the other hand, argue that using marketplace reforms in the education arena treats learning as a commodity and has the potential to jeopardize the cherished American ideal of providing a quality education to all children. Whatever the pros and cons, the school-choice movement continues to gain ground. Increasingly state choice programs include a mix of inter- and intradistrict enrollment options, charter schools and home schooling. Several states are trying out or considering programs that provide cash certificates, tax credits or tax deductions to allow students to attend any school of their choice – whether public or private.
