Mississippi Supreme Court declines to rule on $10M public funds allocation for private school infrastructure constitutionality.
Mississippi Supreme Court declines to rule on whether the state's $10 million public funds allocation for private school infrastructure violates the state constitution. The court ruled 7-2 that an advocacy group lacked legal standing to sue the state. The larger constitutional question about public money going to private schools was not addressed. The Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature passed the program in 2022 using part of federal pandemic relief funds.
