Divided Supreme Court rules Oklahoma can't launch a taxpayer-funded religious charter school
- In 2024, the Oklahoma Supreme Court upheld a decision blocking the Catholic Church's plan to establish a virtual school named St. Isidore of Seville, ruling that it conflicted with constitutional and state legal provisions.
- The ruling followed the June 2023 state board approval and an Attorney General lawsuit citing Establishment Clause concerns and state interest in separation.
- The case involved debates over religious charter schools, school choice advocacy, and the Supreme Court's 4-4 deadlock that prevented a national precedent.
- The Supreme Court vote split evenly 4-4, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett absent and potentially decisive, leaving the Oklahoma ruling intact without a written opinion.
- The outcome blocks Oklahoma from establishing the nation's first taxpayer-funded religious public charter school and leaves the legal question unresolved nationally.
