The Mississippi Supreme Court rejected arguments last week that taxpayer funding of charter schools violates the state’s constitution—a win for proponents of school choice.
“This ruling is a major victory for parents who simply want what every parent wants: the ability to choose the best possible education for their children,” Aaron Rice, director of the Jackson-based Mississippi Justice Institute, said in a statement. “We are happy for our clients and for every parent and student in Mississippi who will continue to have increased educational choices because of this ruling.”
