Zelman v. Simmons-Harris,
No. 00-1751 Supreme Court Decision
On June 27, 2002 a 5-4 Supreme Court
ruling upheld the constitutionality of an Ohio school voucher
program, ruling for the first time that the government may give
financial aid to parents so they can send their children to
religious or private schools. The court's ruling was on three
consolidated cases: Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, No. 00-1751; Hanna
Perkins School v. Simmons-Harris, No. 00-1777; and Taylor v.
Simmons-Harris, No. 00-1779.
