Starlee Coleman, President and CEO of The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, released the following statement regarding the United States Supreme Court decision to hear the case of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School’s application to operate as a religious charter school:
“Charter schools are public schools that are part of states’ public-school systems. Like all public schools, charter schools are bound by the U.S. Constitution and are therefore not allowed to be religious schools. We agree with the Oklahoma Supreme Court’s June 25, 2024 decision that affirmed the unconstitutionality of religious public schools.”
