The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Friday to hear a case involving two Catholic dioceses seeking to establish the nation’s first taxpayer-funded religious charter school.
Last October, the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School in Oklahoma and its board requested the Supreme Court review the case after the state’s highest court denied the school’s opening. In its filing, the court agreed to revive the case, setting a schedule that could lead to a decision potentially by early summer.
With one hour granted for oral arguments in the writ of certiorari, petitioners’ briefs are ordered to be filed before March 5 with respondent’s briefs ordered to be filed on or before March 31.
