Idaho Supreme Court upholds School Choice Tax Credit
Raúl Labrador
The Idaho Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously rejected a constitutional challenge to Idaho's School Choice Tax Credit, allowing families who have already applied to move forward with the program. Attorney General Raúl Labrador's office successfully defended the law, with Solicitor General Michael Zarian arguing the case before the Court last month.
"Today’s decision confirms that Idaho’s constitutional requirement to maintain a system of public schools does not prevent the Idaho Legislature from doing more to expand educational opportunities," said Labrador in a press release. "The Court rejected the Petitioner’s restrictive reading of the legislature’s power to legislate education matters. This ruling is a victory for Idaho families. It affirms their freedom to choose the educational path that best fits their children’s needs and futures."
