Public schools send some disabled kids to private schools -- but parents can't do the same thing with state money, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled today.
The state's high court struck down two voucher programs that intended to give a combined $5 million in taxpayer funds to private schools chosen by parents. Helping disabled kids seems like a "well-intentioned" plan, but there's little problem called the state constitution, writes Justice Michael Ryan (at right).
Justice Stanley Feldman has ruled the Arizona legal scene for years. But now he's gone. And Governor Janet Napolitano has some important decisions to make.
