Mississippi high court declines to rule on questions of public funds going to private schools
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court declined to rule on whether the state was violating its constitution with a $10 million grant program for private schools, as an advocacy group lacked legal standing to sue. The program, funded with federal pandemic relief money, was put on hold after a lawsuit by the ACLU and other organizations. Public schools were excluded from the grants, leading to concerns about competitive advantages. A separate program for interest-free loans for public schools was created. While three justices heard arguments on the issue, the court ultimately decided not to weigh in on the constitutional question.
